What kind of hormone is Nexplanon?
Primarily, etonogestrel inhibits fertility by inhibiting the release of luteinizing hormone, a reproductive hormone necessary for ovulation.
Progestins with a high androgen index, like Nexplanon, can cause hair loss by miniaturizing hair follicles. This is a slow process; hair loss may only occur after many years of continuous treatment with Nexplanon.
Alcohol use typically does not reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive implants that work for up to 3 years. But drinking alcohol during the implant period could worsen known side effects, such as headaches and nausea.
