In November of 2005, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. began warning the public that the Ortho Evra® patch releases 60% more estrogen into the bloodstream than average birth control pills.
How does Ortho Evra Work?
The Ortho Evra patch works the same way as oral birth control pills, except it is a thin plastic patch that adheres to the skin releasing a constant supply of hormones through the skin. These hormones are absorbed into the bloodstream and help prevent ovulation and therefore pregnancy.
Ortho Evra Patch is a registered trademark of Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc.
