Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

We investigated the effect of tampon co-usage on systemic exposure to etonogestrel (ENG) and ethinylestradiol (EE)

from the combined contraceptive vaginal ring, NuvaRing. One cycle of ring use consists of 3 weeks of ring use

followed by a 1-week ring-free period. Fourteen healthy women were randomized to use both NuvaRing and tampons

(Kotex regular) or NuvaRing alone for one cycle; participants then switched to the alternate treatment regimen for a

second cycle of ring use. The first tampon was self-administered on day 8 of the interaction cycle; 4 tampons a day

were used for 3 consecutive days. Tampon co-usage did not result in any changes in serum ENG or EE

concentrations and is thus not expected to compromise the ring's contraceptive efficacy. (PubHealth.info Document
