Acceptability of the Nexplanon implant

Many women find the Nexplanon implant to be a highly acceptable means of long-acting reversible contraception, particularly for its convenience and the fact that there is no user action for up to 3 years.³²

Studies have shown that:

Almost 40% (n=282) of women choose to use the Nexplanon implant again after the previous contraceptive implant expires.²²
Over two-thirds (79%, n=75) of women would recommend using the Nexplanon implant to a friend.³⁴
Continuation rates with the Nexplanon implant at 1, 2, and 3 years are high.^{9, 11, 22}

The major reason that women ask for the contraceptive implant to be removed early is the development of an altered pattern of menstrual bleeding.^{12, 18, 22, 34} Continuation rates may be improved by pre-insertion counselling to manage patient expectations about the side effects of progestogen-only contraception.¹

Request a visit from a Schering-Plough representative to learn more about Nexplanon, including how to train to insert and remove the contraceptive implant.
