Nuvaring is the brand name for etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol and is available as a vaginal ring.

Nuvaring is a hormone combination used by women to prevent pregnancy.

Nuvaring is a vaginal ring containing 11.7 mg etonogestrel and 2.7 mg ethinyl estradiol, which releases on average 0.12 mg/day of etonogestrel and 0.015 mg/day of ethinyl estradiol.

Nuvaring contains a combination of two hormones:

• etonogestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy in a few ways.
• It stops ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary).
• It makes the mucus in your cervix thicker so it’s harder for sperm to move through and fertilize an egg.
• It changes the lining of the uterus (womb) so it’s harder for a fertilized egg to attach onto.

Each Nuvaring releases 0.12 mg of etonogestrel and 15 mcg of ethinyl estradiol per day.

Weeks 1 to 3:

• Insert one ring into the vagina. Then, keep it in place for the next 3 weeks. Take out the ring from the vagina at the end of week 3.
• Week 4: Don’t use any rings this week.
• Keep repeating this 4-week cycle to prevent pregnancy. Insert a new ring on the first day of your next cycle (7 days after you remove the old one).
