Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does EluRyng Work?
EluRyng works by releasing etonogestrel and ethinyl estradiol, which prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). The hormones also cause changes in the cervical mucus and endometrial lining, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg and for a fertilized egg to implant.
Common Dosages
- Vaginal ring that releases 0.12 mg etonogestrel and 0.015 mg ethinyl estradiol daily.
Typical Dosing
- Insert one EluRyng into the vagina and leave it in place for three weeks. After three weeks, remove the ring for a ring-free week, during which menstruation occurs. Insert a new ring after the ring-free week.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Prevention of pregnancy
Who Shouldn't Take EluRyng?
- A history of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Known or suspected breast cancer
- Liver disease

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Insert the ring on the same day each month and remove it after three weeks. Even during the ring-free week, you are still protected from pregnancy.
- If the ring is expelled from the vagina for more than 3 hours, rinse it with lukewarm water and reinsert it. Use backup contraception, like condoms, for the next 7 days.
- Do not use EluRyng if you smoke and are over 35 years old, as this increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects.
