Is nexplanon safe for patients with history of dvt?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Nexplanon is a progestin only contraceptive that should not increase one's risk of DVT in the same way as combined oral contraceptives like the pill, patch, or ring which contain estrogen. The hormonal iud and the copper iud would also be good options.
