What is IMPLANON™?

IMPLANON is a flexible plastic rod the size of a matchstick

IMPLANON™ is a type of birth control for women. It is a flexible plastic rod the size of a matchstick that is put under the skin of your arm.

IMPLANON™ contains a hormone called etonogestrel. You can use a single IMPLANON™ rod for up to three years. Because IMPLANON™ does not contain estrogen, your healthcare provider may recommend IMPLANON™ even if you cannot use estrogen.

Established worldwide

Since 1998, there have been more than 2.5 million IMPLANON™ units prescribed in more than thirty countries. It is a progestin-only method of birth control and does not contain estrogen. IMPLANON™ does not contain latex or silicone and will not dissolve.
