The NuvaRing® is a once-a-month combined contraceptive vaginal ring, which was approved for use in the United States in October. It is a transparent, flexible ring that provides month-long birth control by emitting a continuous dose of estrogen and progestin for 21 days. However, since the NuvaRing hit the market it has been the subject of many lawsuits related to blood clots and has also been blamed for 12 deaths nationwide. The NuvaRing is manufactured by Organon Pharmaceuticals USA inc., Organon USA Inc., Organon International Inc, Schering Plough Corp., and Akzo Nobel NV.

NuvaRing® releases a form of progestin called desogentrel which has been shown to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism, a potentially fatal type of blood clot. In 2007, the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen asked federal regulators to ban oral contraceptives that contained forms of desogestral because it has been implicated in a higher risk of strokes, blood clots and other cardiovascular problems. NuvaRing releases approximately 120 micrograms of etonogestral, an active desogestral metabolite, per day, which is a relatively high dose of this dangerous hormone.

Blood clots, also known as thrombosis, can occur when blood cells clump together in the vein, which restricts blood flow. If a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the legs, pelvis, or arms, known as deep vein thrombosis, this can severely restrict blood flow to the heart, lungs or brain. This can lead to serious and potentially fatal injuries.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING NUVARING® AND HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ITS SAFETY, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR REGARDING YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS.
