Update: Contraceptive Implant (Nexplanon®)

We’re pleased to share that the contraceptive implant (Nexplanon®) is now licensed for up to 5 years of use in the UK (previously 3 years). 

This means:

  • If you already have an implant, it may now remain effective for longer
  • It continues to provide very reliable contraception during this time
  • No new safety concerns have been identified 

What you should do:

  • Please do not book early replacement unless advised
  • If you’re unsure when your implant was fitted, or have questions, contact our service on 0191 5699966
