Etonogestrel contraceptive implant as emergency contraception: a mechanism of action pharmacodynamic pilot study
Listen to this summary
This pilot study aimed to assess the efficacy of the etonogestrel contraceptive implant in suppressing or delaying ovulation when used as emergency contraception. Among the eight participants, six demonstrated signs of ovulation suppression following implant insertion, suggesting potential for the implant as an emergency contraceptive method. The authors call for further research to explore its effectiveness across diverse populations, particularly varying BMI groups.
