A member asked:

Will taking zzzquil (diphenhydramine) affect how my nexplanon contraceptive works? will it decrease the effectiveness or interfere with it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, no: Haven't heard of any over-the-counter allergy/cold/flu medications altering the effectiveness of Nexplanon.

I am currently using the Nexplanon as a form of Contraceptive. I've had it for a 1yr and some months but it seems to make me fatter and messes with my period. I would like to remove it and go for a Patch instead. Does this also cause weight gain?
