Etonogestrel

A synthetic progestogen, the active form of desogestrel, used for long-acting contraception: it is found in a small implant placed under the skin of the arm, introduced in 1998, and in a vaginal ring together with ethinylestradiol. This family brings together pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?The implant is a single rod 4 cm long and 2 mm wide, about the size of a matchstick; the newer version contains barium sulphate, which makes it visible on X-rays.
