DESCRIPTION
The Evra Patch is a transdermal contraceptive patch that provides a simple and effective way to prevent pregnancy. Designed for weekly application, it releases a combination of estrogen and progestin hormones through the skin, helping to prevent ovulation and alter cervical mucus, thus reducing the likelihood of pregnancy.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Evra Patch is a thin, beige-colored patch that adheres to the skin, delivering continuous contraception with minimal effort. Measuring roughly 1.75 inches on each side, it is discreet and easy to wear. Once applied, it remains effective for seven days, ensuring steady hormone levels to maintain its contraceptive benefits. Suitable for those seeking a less invasive alternative to daily pills or devices, the Evra Patch offers both convenience and efficacy.
HOW TO USE
Application: Choose a clean, dry, and hairless area of the skin, such as the upper outer arm, buttock, abdomen, or upper torso (excluding the breasts). Peel off the protective liner and press the patch firmly onto the skin.
Schedule: Apply a new patch once a week on the same day of the week for three consecutive weeks. On the fourth week, remove the patch and take a break to allow for a menstrual period.
Replacement: After the seven-day break, start the cycle again with a new patch. To maintain effectiveness, ensure the patch is applied on the same day of the week each cycle.
SIDE EFFECTS
Users of the Evra Patch may experience side effects such as skin irritation at the application site, nausea, headaches, or breast tenderness. More serious risks include an increased chance of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, particularly in smokers and women over 35. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional to discuss your medical history and ensure the Evra Patch is a safe and suitable option for your contraceptive needs.
