OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive

The the weekly birth control contraceptive patch, also called OrthoEvra, is a small beige patch applied to the skin like a sticky plaster, which protects women against unwanted pregnancy.

How OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive works

The OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive releases two hormones, oestrogen and progestogen into the bloodstream through the skin. Like the combined birth control contraceptive pill the OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive stops the ovaries from releasing an egg for fertilisation every month. The OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive also thickens the mucus around the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to get into the womb.

OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptives can be worn discreetly on most areas of the body, including the upper arm, shoulder or buttocks, but should not be applied to the breasts or to broken or irritated skin.

The OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive provides protection from pregnancy straight away only if started on the first day of your period and worn continuosly for seven days. On the eighth day it should be changed, by removing it, throwing it away carefully and immediately putting on a new one. The patch should be changed every week for three weeks.

After three weeks you don’t wear a patch for seven days. During the patch-free week you may bleed as in a normal period. After seven patch-free days a new one is applied and the four week cycle of three weeks with a patch, one week without starts again.

You apply a new OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive once a week, every week for 3 weeks (21 days). You then stop using the patch for 7 days (patch-free week). This is called a patch cycle.

Week 1: You start the OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive cycle by applying a new patch. This is known as the start day. Keep this patch on for 7 days. Do not leave the same patch on for more than 7 days and only use one patch at a time.

Week 2: Remove theOrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive and apply a new one immediately. This is known as the change day. This will be the same day of the week as the start day. The patch can be changed at any time of the day. Keep this patch on for 7 days.

Week 3: Remove the OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive and apply a new one immediately. Keep this patch on for 7 days.

Patch-free week: Remove the OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive. You now have 7 days without using it. This is known as the patch-free week. During this week you will get a withdrawal bleed (like a period). This may not always happen but is caused by you not taking hormones in the patch-free week. The bleeding usually starts around the fourth patch-free day and lasts for about 5 or 6 days. It is usually regular, lighter and less painful than a normal period.

New patch cycle: After 7 patch-free days you apply a new OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch And Weekly Contraceptive on the eighth day. You should do this even if you are still bleeding. This is now week 1 of a new patch cycle. Continue to use the patch as you did in the last cycle, applying a new patch each week for 3 weeks. It is very important not to have more than 7 days without using the patch or you may lose contraceptive protection.

You can use the patch on most areas of your body as long as your skin is clean, dry and not very hairy. You should not put it on skin that is sore or irritated or anywhere that can be rubbed by tight clothing. Don’t put it on your breasts. It is also a good idea to change the position of each new patch to help reduce the chance of any possible skin irritation.

What Is The OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch

Ethinyl estradiol is a form of estrogen and norelgestromin is a form of progesterone. These are both female hormones involved in conception. The ethinyl estradiol and norelgestromin topical patch releases estrogen and progesterone that are absorbed directly through the skin.

Overdose Of OrthoEvra-Patch Birth Control Patch

An overdose of ethinyl estradiol and norelgestromin is unlikely to occur because the patch holding the medicine releases a steady amount of contraceptive hormones. Do not use more than one patch at a time. If you do suspect an overdose, or if the medication has been ingested, call an emergency room or poison control center for advice. Symptoms of an overdose of combination hormonal contraceptives may include: nausea vomiting vaginal bleeding
