NuvaRing® is the trade name for
a vaginal contraceptive ring manufactured by Organon. Like other forms of
combination hormonal contraception, NuvaRing® contains estrogen and progestin
hormones. However, the type of progestin used in the NuvaRing® (etonogestrel),
is considered a third-generation progestin and is associated with a greater risk for developing blood clots than the type of
progestin that is used in most birth control pills.
Since the NuvaRing® became available in 2002, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has received many reports of adverse events associated
with the use of the NuvaRing®. The most dangerous side effect is blood clotting,
which can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or even death. In 2005, the FDA
required Organon to change the NuvaRing® label to more accurately reflect the risks
associated with it.
