Reasons to File Mississippi Nexplanon Lawsuits
Nexplanon is a type of contraceptive implant. It is about the size of a match stick and it is placed in the skin of the patient’s inner-upper arm. Nexplanon helps prevent pregnancy for three years by releasing small amounts of etonogestrel, which is an artificial form of the female hormone progestin, helping to prevent ovulation. Nexplanon is a newer version of Implanon, though it contains barium sulfate and is also easier to implant. However, for all of its good intentions, Mississippi Nexplanon lawsuits have arisen.
Nexplanon is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. In fact, fewer than 1 in 100 women who use Nexplanon get pregnant. Despite the fact that this contraceptive is very effective, there have been a lot of concerns raised about it. Many people have filed Mississippi Nexplanon lawsuits because of the side effects that they have suffered.

Studies On Blood Clot Formation
There was a Danish study that followed women who were between the ages of 15 and 49 between 2001 and 2010. None of them women were pregnant and did not have a history of cancer or blood clots. The researchers found that subcutaneous implants, such as Nexplanon, can increase the risk of blood clots by 40 percent. A blood clot can change a person’s life for the worst, which is why people who have suffered one after using this implant should file Mississippi Nexplanon lawsuits.
