Additional Information
Ortho Evra Birth Control
Ortho Evra (the birth control patch) is the only birth control approved for use in the United States. Since the patch entered the market in 2001, it has been prescribed to over 5 million women.
After it was released, Ortho Evra was hailed as one of the “coolest inventions of the year” by Time magazine. Unfortunately, the halo didn’t last. Shortly thereafter, a significant number of women who used the patch experienced serious, and sometimes deadly, side-effects.
Studies have shown that women who use Ortho Evra could be exposed to up to 60% more estrogen than the most popular form of the pill. This has been linked to blood clots, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, stroke, heart attack, coma and death.
