    AbstractNexplanon is the only contraceptive implant currently available in the United States. It exerts its contraceptive effects primarily by suppressing ovulation. The Nexplanon is the most effective method of long-acting reversible contraception. The implant should be removed by the end of the third year of use. Persons will experience a rapid return to fertility once the implant is removed. All health care providers must be trained on Nexplanon before performing insertions or removals of the implant. A Nexplanon can be inserted and/or removed as an office-based procedure. The most common adverse reaction is change in menstrual bleeding patterns.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
