To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported which presents a patient in simultaneous use of thalidomide and ENG-implant. Although this case report preliminary supports effectiveness and safety of ENG-implant as a contraceptive option in women using thalidomide, rigorous drug-drug interaction research is needed to better characterize the interaction between thalidomide and the ENG-implant.
