Nexplanon is the brand name for etonogestrol and is available as an implant placed in your arm.

Nexplanon consists of a single, radiopaque, rod-shaped implant, containing 68 mg etonogestrel, pre-loaded in the needle of a disposable applicator.

Nexplanon is a progestiin used to prevent pregnancy.

Nexplanon 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.

Nexplanon 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.
