What is Eluryng?
Eluryng is a brand of the combined contraceptive vaginal ring (ethinyl estradiol + segesterone acetate), used for pregnancy prevention. The ring releases hormones to help prevent ovulation and change the reproductive tract environment to reduce the chance of pregnancy.
How does Eluryng work (and how is it different from other rings)?
Like other combined vaginal rings, Eluryng delivers estrogen plus a progestin locally through the vaginal tissue. The specific progestin in Eluryng is segesterone acetate, which distinguishes it from rings that use other progestins (for example, levonorgestrel or etonogestrel, depending on the product).
How is Eluryng used?
Eluryng is worn intravaginally on a schedule set by the prescribing label (ring use is cyclical rather than continuous every day). Users typically remove and replace it according to the recommended cycle timing.
Who should avoid Eluryng?
Combined hormonal contraceptives are generally not appropriate for some people, particularly those with contraindications related to blood clots or certain cardiovascular risks. These contraindications are addressed in the product labeling for Eluryng and should be reviewed with a clinician before starting.
What side effects do people ask about with Eluryng?
Common side effects of combined hormonal vaginal rings can include vaginal irritation/discomfort, spotting or changes in bleeding patterns, nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Serious warning signs tied to estrogen-containing contraceptives (such as symptoms of a blood clot) are also covered in labeling.
