Contraceptives: Etonogestrel Implants like Implanon, Nexplanon in taiwan?

Any news on etonogestrel implants like Implanon, Nexplanon, …? Are they available in Taiwan now?

I found this here, Google translate looks like something was applied for but cancelled:

(I created a new topic with more general headline, even though I already asked this question in Implanon Implant Taipei. Mods please feel free to link, delete, or whatever else fits best)

Thansk! Damn, this notification function doesn’t work well for me… sorry I didn’t see this reply earlier.

I can only rely on google translate, which seems to indicate that it was available, there was some recall due to fracturing, the original license ran out already… but it seems the manufacturer plans to provide a new, safer version. No idea if that happened or not.

Or: Any other kinds of contraception here in Taiwan that have good chances of completely getting rid of the period (or rather the associated pains)?

I’m not really an expert in this area :slight_smile: but I heard that the shot (depo provera) is available here, and I heard on other forums it does what you’re looking for .

Although people say it cam have some serious side effects such as some people couldn’t ever get pregnant again.
