Medication Description
Ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel vaginal ring is a prescription birth control prescription medication used to prevent pregnancy. This flexible, transparent ring is inserted into the vagina, where it steadily releases low doses of two hormones—ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and etonogestrel (a progestin).
The hormones prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and thin the uterine lining to reduce the likelihood of implantation. The ring is worn for 3 continuous weeks, then removed for 1 week to allow for a withdrawal bleed.
How To Use:
Insert 1 ring vaginally and leave in place for 3 weeks, under the direction of your provider
Remove for 1 week to allow for a menstrual-like bleed
A new ring must be inserted after the ring-free week
Suitable for patients already stabilized on this contraceptive method
Warnings:
Not recommended for individuals who smoke and are over the age of 35
Contraindicated in patients with a history of blood clots, stroke, or estrogen-sensitive cancers
Users should review full instructions for insertion and removal
