Contraceptive Implant

The contraceptive implant is a small, flexible plastic rod that is placed just under the skin in your upper arm. It then releases the hormone progestogen to prevent pregnancy.

The implant is a very effective form of contraception, being more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

The implant is also a long-acting form of contraception, meaning it lasts for three years, so you don’t have to worry about taking a pill every day or changing a patch every week.

If you’re thinking about using the contraceptive implant, it’s important to talk to your doctor. They can help you decide if the implant is the right choice for you.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The implant is a safe and effective form of contraception
• It’s a long-acting form of contraception, so you don’t have to worry about taking a pill every day
• The implant can be removed at any time if you decide you no longer want it
