Etonogestrel is a medication which is used as a means of birth control for women. [4] [5] [12] [13] It is available as an implant placed under the skin of the upper arm under the brand names Nexplanon and Implanon.
The lowest failure rates are seen with the implants Jadelle and Implanon, at 0.05% per year. [9] [10] According to Contraceptive Technology, none of these methods has a failure rate greater than 0.3% per year. [10] The SERM ormeloxifene is less effective than the steroid hormone methods; studies have found a perfect-use failure rate near 2% per ...
LARC failure rates are comparable to those of sterilization. [15] LARCs and sterilization differ in their reversibility. The implant has a 0.05% failure rate in the first year of use, the levonorgestrel (hormonal) IUD has a 0.1% failure rate in the first year of use, and the copper IUD has a 0.8% failure rate in first year of use. [6]
It is one of the most effective forms of birth control with a one-year failure rate around 0.05%. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The device is placed under the skin and lasts for up to five years. [ 3 ] It may be used by women who have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease and therefore cannot use an intrauterine device . [ 3 ]
9% failure rate with typical use (method not used consistently or correctly) 0.3% failure rate with perfect use [7] [18] Meant to be taken at the same time every day (some pills can be taken within 2–24 hours and still be effective) [19] Combined contraceptive patch [7] 120-150 μg of norelgestromin and 20-35 μg ethinyl estradiol daily [20 ...
Two other important uses for the relative rate test are to determine if and how generation time and metabolic processes affect mutational rate. Firstly is generation time. Sarich and Wilson first used the relative rate test to show that there was no evidence of a generation effect on lineage mutation rates for albumin within primates. [4]
