A contraceptive implant is a device that is put under the skin in order to offer you an even dose of contraception without you having to take a daily pill ... The progestogen hormone in the implant is called etonogestrel. It is released into the bloodstream at a slow, steady rate. The progestogen works mainly by stopping the release of the egg from the ovary (ovulation). It also thickens the mucus which forms a mucous plug in the neck of the womb (cervix).

OBS

Sold under a large number of commercial (trade) names, among which: Nexplanon, Norplant and Jadelle.
