Are subdermal implants like Nexplanon available in india? If yes, what is the cost to get one?
Which is better, an implant or an injection every 3 months?
And does the efficacy change if the patient has a BMI >30?
Answers (9)
No they are not
The injection which is available has many side effects in the form of irregular vaginal bleeding and weight gain
The efficacy is reduced in overweight patients

Injection every 3 months is cheaper. But has side effects like irregular vaginal spotting. But efficacy is good. Does not vary with BMI
