About Ethinyl Estradiol; Etonogestrel

Ethinyl Estradiol Etonogestrel is a vaginal ring containing combination hormone medication and is used to prevent pregnancy. Ethinyl Estradiol;Etonogestrel contains 2 hormones: progestin (etonogestrel) and estrogen (Ethinyl estradiol). Nuvaring generic works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. Nuvaring for acne also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. Side effects Nuvaring can be based on your medical condition.

Using this product does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).

How to use

Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using Ethinyl Estradiol Etonogestrel and each time you get a refill. The leaflet contains very important information on how to properly use and dispose of the vaginal ring. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Nuvaring generic is for vaginal use only.
  • Before use, wash and dry your hands.
  • Remove the ring from the reclosable foil pouch, keeping the pouch for later disposal of the used ring.
  • Fold the ring in half and gently push it into your vagina as directed, until it feels comfortable.
  • Although some women may be aware of the ring in the vagina, most women do not feel it once it is in place

If this is the first time you are using the ring, use an additional form of non-hormonal birth control (such as condoms, spermicide) for the first 7 days to prevent pregnancy until the ring has enough time to work. Do not use a diaphragm, female condom, or cervical cap for additional birth control since the ring may interfere with proper placement. If you start using the ring on the first day of your period, you do not need to use backup birth control the first week.

After using it for 3 weeks what should you do?

After using the ring for 3 weeks, remove it on the same day of the week and about the same time that you placed it. Place the used ring back into the foil pouch and discard it in the trash. Do not flush the used ring down a toilet. If you have pain/bleeding when trying to remove the ring, or if you cannot remove it, tell your doctor right away.

Next, do not wear a ring for 1 week (7 days). You should have your period within 2 to 3 days after the ring is removed. After 1 ring-free week, insert a new ring on the same day of the week that you removed the old ring, whether or not you have your period. If you do not get your period, consult your doctor. Do not go longer than 7 days without a ring. Doing so will increase your risk of pregnancy.

Check regularly

Regularly check that the Nuvaring generic ring is in your vagina, such as before and after sexual intercourse. The ring may accidentally fall out during sexual intercourse, during a bowel movement, or while removing a tampon. If this happens and the ring has been out of your vagina for less than 3 hours, rinse it with cool to lukewarm (not hot) water and re-insert the ring as soon as possible.

If the ring has been out longer than 3 hours, you could become pregnant. Re-insert it or insert a new ring as directed and use an additional form of non-hormonal birth control for the next 7 days to prevent pregnancy. If you are not sure how long the ring has been out of your vagina. You may not be protected from pregnancy. Contact your doctor for a pregnancy test before inserting a new ring and using additional backup birth control for 7 days.

Don’t leave it for a long time

If you have left the ring in place longer than directed, up to an extra week. You will still be protected from pregnancy. Remove the ring and insert a new ring after 1 ring-free week. However, if you have left the ring in place longer than 4 weeks, you may not be protected from pregnancy. Remove the ring. Contact your doctor for a pregnancy test before inserting a new ring and using additional backup birth control for 7 days.

Rarely, the vaginal ring has broken at the weld joint after placement. This increases the chance of it slipping out of the vagina. If this happens, throw it away and use a new Nuvaring for acne ring.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about how to switch from other forms of hormonal birth control to Nuvaring generic. If any information is unclear, consult the Patient Information Leaflet or your doctor or pharmacist.
