Nuvaring

NuvaRing is the trade name for a combined hormonal contraceptive vaginal ring manufactured by Organon. NuvaRing releases a combination of thinyl estradiol and etonogestrel. Each ring is used for one cycle, each cycle consists of three weeks of continuous use followed by a week without use.

Nuvaring contains etonogestrel, a progestin, which has been associated with a higher risk of deep venous thrombosis, which can cause blood clots. In two studies 15% of women discontinued use after one year because of adverse side effects.

Several possible side effects:

- Stroke

- Blood Clots

- Deep Venous Thrombosis

- Heart Attack

- Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

These severe side effects have been linked to the high dose of etonogestrel released by NuvaRing. These side effects can cause permanent organ damage and can result in death.
