Overview

Implanon NXT 68mg Implant is a contraceptive containing etonogestrel, a synthetic progestogen. It is a small, flexible implant designed for insertion under the skin of the upper arm by a trained healthcare professional. The implant is supplied in a preloaded applicator to support professional insertion and must be removed by a qualified healthcare professional. The duration of use and suitability depend on the approved product information and individual medical assessment. Implanon NXT  should be used under medical supervision. It does not provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

 

 

Directions for Use

This medicine requires a prescription and cannot be self-inserted. After an online consultation confirms suitability, a trained doctor inserts the rod under local anaesthetic into the inner side of the non-dominant upper arm using a pre-loaded applicator; the procedure takes only a few minutes. The implant should be removed or replaced by a healthcare provider by the end of the third year, or sooner if advised by your doctor.

Dosage

Implanon NXT delivers etonogestrel continuously from a single 68mg rod once inserted; there is no tablet to take or dose to self-administer. Your doctor will confirm the correct timing of insertion relative to your menstrual cycle or previous contraceptive method to ensure immediate and continuous protection.

Shelf Life

Unopened and unused, the implant applicator is generally stable for the shelf life stated on its packaging when stored correctly; once inserted, it is designed to remain effective for up to 3 years, after which it must be removed or replaced.

Storage Instructions

Prior to insertion, the sterile applicator should be stored below 30°C in a dry place, protected from light, and kept in its original sealed packaging until the healthcare provider is ready to use it. It should never be stored or handled by the patient for self-insertion.
