Safety and efficacy have been established in women between 18 and 40 years of age.
The implant is a small, soft, flexible, plastic rod, 4 cm in length and 2 mm in diameter, which contains 68 milligrams of the active substance, etonogestrel.
The applicator allows the healthcare professional to insert the implant just under the skin of your upper arm.
Etonogestrel is a synthetic female hormone resembling progesterone.
A small amount of etonogestrel is continuously released into the bloodstream.
The implant itself is made of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, a plastic that will not dissolve in the body.
It also contains a small amount of barium sulfate which renders it visible under X-ray.
Etonogestrel is used to prevent pregnancy.
