Accepted Answer

Nexplanon ?'s: Nexplanon contains a progestin, and works by prevention of implantation via the action of the progestin on the uterine lining.  Nexplanon is close in effectiveness to oral bcp's , and is not affected by herbal supplements.  Since periods are often far apart on Nexplanon, if other symptoms suggest pregnancy, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain.

Question 2

ALA-PDT: I think you mean ala-pdt which is a treatment for acne (vulgaris). It involves the use of a product called amino levulonic acid (ala) which is absorbed by actively dividing cells like chemotherapy. The medication makes these cells very sensitive to specific light frequencies. When the treated skin is exposed t the light (pdt) the effected cells die.
