FDA Resources. Local anaesthetic: a medicine used to numb a part of your body for a short while. You remain conscious. The implant is inserted injected under the skin of your inner upper arm by a trained doctor or nurse. A local anaesthetic is used before the implant is inserted so that you will not feel pain when this is happening. After the implant is inserted, you should be able to feel the implant under the skin. Removing the implant is also done by a trained doctor or nurse.
A local anaesthetic is used and then a small cut made in your skin to remove the implant. When the implant is first inserted into the arm, it can take up to 7 days to start working to prevent pregnancy. This depends on the timing of your menstrual cycle and if you are already using contraception. Speak with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for more information. Your doctor or nurse will provide a script which you can take to the pharmacy, who will sell you the implant.
You will need to return to the clinic to have the implant inserted. If you do not have a Medicare card it will be more expensive. It will be cheaper if you have a healthcare card. When the implant is first inserted and when it is removed, you may have some bruising and tenderness on your arm. You can use this method until you reach the menopause, when a woman's monthly periods stop naturally. The implant can be removed at any time by a specially trained doctor or nurse.
It only takes a few minutes to remove, and a local anaesthetic will be used. The doctor or nurse will make a tiny cut in your skin to gently pull the implant out. If you're taking any of these medicines, you'll need additional contraception such as condoms , or you may wish to use a different method of contraception that isn't affected by your medicine.
Always tell your doctor that you're using an implant if you're prescribed any medicine. You can also ask them whether the medicine you're taking will affect the implant.
In rare cases, the area of skin where the implant has been fitted can become infected. If this happens, you may need antibiotics. Some but not all GPs or practice nurses are able to fit and remove implants, so you'll need to check at your GP surgery. Find a sexual health clinic. If you need contraception, call your GP surgery or a sexual health clinic as soon as possible.
Only go in person if asked to. You normally have a contraceptive implant for 3 years, but it can be left in and will continue to work for up to 4 years. The risk of getting pregnant during the 4th year is very low. If you're under 16 and want contraception, the doctor, nurse or pharmacist won't tell your parents or carer as long as they believe you fully understand the information you're given, and your decisions.
