Etonogestrel Implant is a progestiin used to prevent pregnancy.

Etonogestrel Implant is an implant that slowly releases etonogestrel, which is a progestin (a manmade form of progesterone). It works to prevent pregnancy by stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg, by making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus (womb), and by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in your uterus.

Etonogestrel Implant is placed under your skin in your upper arm by your healthcare provider at their office. Once placed, it can prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years.
