RODRIGUES, Marta Luísa e LANDIM, Elsa. Signs suggestive of allergic reaction to etonogestrel-releasing contraceptive implant. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.3, pp.310-312. Epub 30-Set-2022. ISSN 1646-5830.
The etonogestrel implant is a subdermal contraceptive that releases etonogestrel. It is one of the most effective contraceptive available and moderate or severe side effects rarely occur. The authors present a case of allergic reaction to one of the components of the etonogestrel implant, about 72 hours after had been inserted. The symptoms resolved after its extraction.
