Does anyone know certain interactions with Nexplanon? I know there’s certain antibiotics, but am just curious if interactions are less likely with something that isn’t an oral contraceptive?

Pretty sure there’s none as it is directly in your bloodstream x

Yes there is !! - pharm assistant here 💗 certain medications can lessen your effectiveness of the nexplanon so just be careful and always tell the pharmacist you have it even for basic medications.

There is a fair lot of medications that could increase side effects, lessen efficacy and cause implications and interactions. 💋

@eo_o3 Do you have any examples of the specific ones? That was kinda my question

It's pretty much the exact same medications that affect the pill: St. John's Wort, many Anticonvulsants, certain Antiretrovirals, Anti-TB medications like rifampicin and rifabutin, Ulipristal Acetate (Ella One EC) and griseofulvin.
