What is Etonogestrel used for?

NUVARING 11.4 MG is primarily used for birth control. This vaginal ring releases etonogestrel, a progestin hormone, to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus.

What does Etonogestrel interact with?

NUVARING 11.4 MG may interact with certain medications, including those that affect liver enzymes. Antibiotic use, particularly rifampin, can reduce the ring's effectiveness. It is advisable to discuss all current medications with a healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.
