Implanon Nxt is a subcutaneous implant that provides long‑acting hormonal contraception. It is prescribed to women who want reliable prevention of pregnancy without the need for daily pills or frequent dosing.
How does etonogestrel work in Implanon Nxt?+
Etonogestrel, the active progestin, binds to progesterone receptors, suppressing the luteinizing hormone surge and thereby preventing ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, creating multiple barriers to fertilization and implantation.

The implant contains a fixed 68 mg dose of etonogestrel. The prescriber determines placement and duration based on clinical guidelines; patients should not alter the dose or schedule without medical advice.
Is Implanon Nxt safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Implanon Nxt is intended for use before pregnancy and must be removed if pregnancy occurs. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Limited data exist for breastfeeding, and clinicians should assess risks and benefits before insertion in lactating women.
