Etonogestrel is a synthetic progestin used as a hormonal contraceptive. It is the active metabolite of desogestrel and is currently marketed as a subdermal implant (Nexplanon/Implanon) for long-term birth control in women. It is approved and widely used for contraception.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy women aged 18–40 years receiving the etonogestrel subdermal implant (single 68 mg implant, commonly used contraceptive dose).
