Answer
St John's wort may reduce Nexplanon (etonogestrel) contraceptive efficacy by inducing enzymes that increase hormone clearance, potentially causing contraceptive failure; implant removal is unnecessary, but an additional non-hormonal contraceptive method is advised during concurrent use and for 28 days after stopping St John's wort.
