    Thank you it was very reassuring you asked so many questions about the meds I take and reasons for them. Very easy to do good detailed explanation. I downloaded the diet, I cannot use as I don't eat dairy. I may take up the request to speak to someone, I am pretty queued up on a healthy diet.
  • Shelley
    It was an easy process to get through so I am exceedingly happy. I am desperate to have this be successful for my long term health. Thank you

    After being left high and dry by Asda Pharmacy, these guys came up trumps. Very easy process, highly recommended
  • Mike
    Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. The reason I re-order with them is they let you pick the delivery date. I understand it can take a while to approve orders, and whilst some sites promise next day delivery, they fail to meet it. With HealthExpress I can pick a delivery date a few days in advance, when I know I can be at home to receive it, allowing time for my order to progress. They've not let me down so far!
  • Ricky H
    Quick and easy to arrange plus quick fast delivery I’m very impressed 👍

 

What is the Evra Patch and how does it work?

The Evra Patch is a contraceptive worn on the skin once a week that releases the hormones estrogen and progestogen into the body. It works by preventing the release of an egg, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and modifying the womb lining to reduce the chance of pregnancy.

 

Where should I apply the Evra Patch?

Apply the patch to clean, dry, and hairless areas such as the buttocks, abdomen, upper back, or outer arm. Avoid placing it on irritated skin or areas where it might rub off due to tight clothing.

 

Who should avoid using the Evra Patch?

The patch may not be suitable for people with a history of blood clots, stroke, migraines, liver disease, heart problems, certain cancers, or high blood pressure. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider before starting.

 

HOW IT WORKS

You wear the patch on your skin for one week

The patch must be changed every 7 days for three consecutive weeks.

Take a one-week break without a patch during which a withdrawal bleed usually occurs.
