Implanon and Influenza A Vaccine

• Generic Name: etonogestrel
• Dosage Forms: implant
• Other Brand Names: Implanon, Nexplanon

Implanon implant contains etonogestrel, a hormone that prevents ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Etonogestrel also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

Implanon implant is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. The medicine is contained in a small plastic rod that is implanted into the skin of your upper arm. The medicine is released slowly into the body. The rod can remain in place and provide continuous contraception for up to 3 years.

Implanon may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
