Good morning, please advise me on the following. Since October last year, I have had an Implanon contraceptive implant. Sometime since mid-January, I've been struggling with bothersome nausea. I know this is one of the side effects. Is there any way to alleviate this ailment? Even the smells of food alone can bother me. Is the only solution to get rid of the implant, or is there a chance that the situation will normalize and I will stop having this ailment? Thank you in advance for your reply. Best regards.

The occurrence of nausea may be one of the side effects of the contraceptive implant. The body's adaptation period to the use of a new contraceptive drug usually lasts the first 3-6 months. Most often, side effects such as irregular spotting occur during this time, m.in occur during this time, which disappear after this time.
If the symptoms persist, I encourage you to consult a doctor. In your case, you may need to remove the implant. You can take advantage of a teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

I also encourage you to report the occurrence of adverse effects of the implant. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:

Until you consult your doctor, you can use nausea relievers available in online and brick-and-mortar pharmacies. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order the preparation with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy of your choice.
