What is the Ortho-Evra Patch?

ORTHO EVRA, the first birth control patch, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is now available for prescription from your doctor or healthcare professional.

ORTHO EVRA is a once-a-week birth control option that's as effective as the Pill. It is the first weekly, non-invasive form of reversible contraception that's 99 percent effective when used correctly. You can swim, exercise, bathe, shower, and wear the patch in warm, humid conditions. And because it's so thin, you can easily wear it under your clothes.

Simple to stop...

When you are ready to have a baby, talk with your healthcare professional about stopping ORTHO EVRA. As with other birth control methods, there may be some delay in becoming pregnant after you stop using ORTHO EVRA. This is especially true if your periods were irregular before you started using ORTHO EVRA. You may want to wait until your periods become more regular after you stop using ORTHO EVRA before trying to become pregnant.

How does it work?

The contraceptive patch contains hormones similar to those in birth control pills. Hormonal contraceptives are not for everybody. Most side effects of the contraceptive patch are not serious and those that are, occur infrequently. Serious risks, which can be life threatening, include blood clots, stroke or heart attacks and are increased if you smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects, especially if you are over 35. Women who use hormonal contraceptives are strongly advised not to smoke. Some women should not use the contraceptive patch, including women who have blood clots, certain cancers, a history of heart attack or stroke, as well as those who are or may be pregnant. The contraceptive patch does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.

Wearing the Patch

• ORTHO EVRA is the first weekly form of birth control. Just change your patch once a week for three consecutive weeks. You do not need to apply a patch during the fourth week. You should change your contraceptive patch on the same day each week. The time of day that you change it does not matter. You can decide when to start wearing ORTHO EVRA -- either on the first day of your period, or on the first Sunday after your period starts. You can pick one of four places on your body to wear your contraceptive patch:buttocks, abdomen, upper torso, or outer upper arm. It should not be worn on breasts. You should not place ORTHO EVRA on skin that is red, irritated or cut.
• To ensure the effectiveness of ORTHO EVRA, you should not place the birth control patch on areas of your skin where make-up, lotions, creams, powders or other products are or will be applied.

Who should not use Ortho Evra?

Some women should not use the ORTHO EVRA contraceptive patch. For example, you should not use ORTHO EVRA if you are pregnant or think you may become pregnant. You should also not use ORTHO EVRA if you have any of the following conditions:
