Ortho Evra Patch is a form
of estrogen and norelgestromin is a form
of progesterone. These are both female hormones
involved in conception. The Ortho Evra Patch
and norelgestromin topical patch releases
estrogen and progesterone that are absorbed
directly through the skin. Ortho Evra Patch
and norelgestromin is used to prevent pregnancy.
The Ortho Evra Patch at times may also be
prescribed or used for reasons and purposes

This birth control method uses a 28 day
(four week) cycle. One Ortho Evra Patch
is applied and kept in place for one week.
A new topical patch is applied each week
for three weeks in a row (21 total days).
You should not apply a patch during the
fourth week (a one-week break). During the
one-week break, you should have your menstrual
period. Every new patch should be applied
on the same day of the week, this will be
your 'Patch Change Day'. Follow your healthcare
provider's instructions regarding when to
start using The Ortho Evra Patch and whether
back-up contraception is needed temporarily.
Clean and dry the area of skin where the
patch will be applied. The patch can be
placed on the buttock, abdomen, upper outer
arm, or upper torso in a place where it
won't be rubbed by tight clothing. Never
put The Ortho Evra Patch on the breasts.
To avoid skin irritation, apply each new
patch to a different place on the skin.
Do not apply the patches to skin that is
red, irritated or cut. Do not use creams,
oils, powder, or makeup on the skin where
you will put The Ortho Evra Patch or near
a patch your are wearing. It may cause the
patch to become loose. If a patch causes
irritation, it can be removed and a new
patch may be applied to a new location until
the next 'Patch Change Day'. Only one patch
should be worn at a time. If The Ortho Evra
Patch has become loose or fallen off for
less than one day, try to reapply it or
apply a new patch immediately. Do not use
The Ortho Evra Patch if it is no longer
sticky, if it is stuck to itself, another
surface, or other material, or if it has
previously become loose or fallen off. No
tapes or wraps should be used to keep the
patch in place. No back-up contraception
is needed. Your 'Patch Change Day' stays
the same. If The Ortho Evra Patch has fallen
off for more than one day or if you are
not sure for how long it has been off, you
may become pregnant. Start a new four week
cycle immediately by putting on a new patch.
You now have a new 'Day 1' and a new 'Patch
Change Day'. You must use another method
of birth control such as a condom, spermicide,
or a diaphragm for the first week of your
new cycle. Single replacement patches are
available through your pharmacist. Store
the topical patches in their protective
pouches at or around room temperature and
keep away from moisture and heat. Do not
store in the refrigerator or freezer.
