Abstract
Carbamazepine use significantly reduces serum etonogestrel concentrations in women using an etonogestrel contraceptive implant, with the majority of participants having etonogestrel concentrations below the threshold for ovulatory suppression. Our findings suggest that treatment with carbamazepine might increase the risk of pregnancy in etonogestrel implant users.
