11.4/2.6 mg Vaginal Ring | 1 Vaginal Ring |
NuvaRing is a convenient and highly effective form of hormonal birth control that provides continuous contraception for women. It is a small, flexible, and transparent vaginal ring that contains two hormones, ethinyl estradiol, and etonogestrel. These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the uterine lining to make it less receptive to implantation.
NuvaRing offers a convenient alternative to daily birth control pills, as it only needs to be inserted into the vagina once a month. It provides 3 weeks of continuous contraception, followed by a 1-week break, during which a woman will typically experience her menstrual period. After the 1-week break, a new ring is inserted to continue protection against pregnancy.
