Where is it available from?

You have to buy the rod from a local pharmacy. Two appointments are required. The first appointment is with your doctor to discuss this method and get a prescription. The second appointment, to insert the implant, needs to be with a doctor trained in this procedure.

The cost of the exam, the implant, and insertion ranges from $400–$800. Removal costs between $100 and $300. The total cost pays for pregnancy protection that can last for three years.
