Hormonal patch for irregular bleeding with contraceptive implant
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a skin patch containing two hormones (estrogen and progestin) to see if it can stop irregular bleeding in women who have a contraceptive implant. If you're having unpredictable or prolonged bleeding with your implant, this treatment may help regulate your periods.
