Does plan b reduce the effectiveness of nexplanon? i have it and took a plan b do i need to use backup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nexplanon insert is a progestin, and while this form of contraception is not "100%", it is in the high 90th %. Taking a "plan B" contraceptive is not going to add security since it also contains hormones, and the protection against pregnancy works to stop implantation, just like "plan B".
