Learn Why Patients
Love ANNOVERA
Proven patient satisfaction1–
~90% of women in a clinical trial were satisfied with ANNOVERA as a form of contraception, the majority of whom had no prior experience with vaginal rings.*
Women rated ANNOVERA highly for:1
- Ease of use
- Comfort while inserted
- Experience during sexual activity
- Low rate of expulsions†
*In an ANNOVERA Phase 3 study, a product acceptability questionnaire was administered and completed at the end of Cycle 3 (n=1036). Results based on data from 905 subjects in the areas of ease-of-use, expulsion, side effects, and sex/intercourse.
†In clinical trials with 2308 women, the rate of expulsion was 25%. Expulsion occurred primarily in the first few weeks as women were getting used to the product, and resulted in 1.4% discontinuation.

Successfully starting patients on ANNOVERA3
Women who have not used a hormonal contraceptive in the preceding cycle or after copper IUD removal
- Insert ANNOVERA between days 2 and 5 of their regular menstrual bleeding; no back-up contraception is needed
- If menstrual cycles are irregular or if the start is more than 5 days from the last menstrual bleeding, women should use an additional barrier method for the first 7 days of ANNOVERA use
Women using a combination hormonal contraceptive (CHC)
- Women who are not pregnant and are consistently and correctly using a CHC can successfully switch to ANNOVERA on any day of the CHC cycle (Day 1-28) without back-up contraception as long as no more than 7 hormone-free days occur before starting ANNOVERA
Women using a progestin-only contraceptive
- Women who remain on schedule with their current birth control and have no contraindication to ethinyl estradiol can successfully switch to ANNOVERA from:
Pills: at the time of their next pill
Injection: at the time of their next scheduled injection
Implant or an IUD: at the time of their implant or IUS removal - After switching from a progestin-only method, an
additional barrier method should be used for initial 7
days of ANNOVERA use
