Implanon Contraceptive Implant

Long-Acting, Reversible Birth Control – Safe, Simple & Effective

What is Implanon?

Implanon NXT is a hormonal contraceptive implant—a small, thin, flexible rod (4 cm long) inserted just under the skin of your upper arm. It releases etonogestrel, a hormone that prevents pregnancy for up to 3 years.

Why Choose Implanon

Over 99% effective – one of the most reliable methods available
Low maintenance – no daily pills or monthly injections
Reversible – fertility returns quickly after removal
Discreet and convenient – invisible under the skin
Safe to use while breastfeeding

How Does Implanon Work?

Stops ovulation (prevents release of eggs)
Thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg
Thins the lining of the uterus, reducing the chance of implantation
