Uses of Ortho Evra (norgestimate + ethinyl estradiol)

This combination hormone patch is used to prevent pregnancy. It contains hormones

similar to those in birth control pills. The hormones release from the patch slowly over

time. Using this medication patch does not protect you or your partner against HIV or

other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

How to Use Ortho Evra

Review the Patient Information Leaflet. Follow all instructions on how to use Ortho Evra patch and also the best time (during your menstrual cycle) to start using the patch.

If any of the information is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Open the patch container and apply one patch to an area of clean, dry skin on the buttock, abdomen,

upper outer arm, or upper body (torso) exactly as directed by your doctor. The patch is

worn for 7 days. Do not apply the patch to the breast(s), the area around the breast(s);

to red, cut, or irritated skin; or over other topical products (e.g., make-up, creams, lotions, powders). After 7 days, remove the old patch and apply a new patch. Repeat this weekly cycle for 3 weeks (3 patches equal 1 cycle). After your third patch is removed, you will

have one week without using the patch. Your menstrual cycle (period) usually should

start during the week when you do not use the patch. If your menstrual cycle (period)

does not begin during this week, consult your doctor. After your 4th week, begin a new patch cycle, even if you still are experiencing some bleeding (still having your period).

Do not go longer than 7 days without a patch. Doing so may make Ortho Evra less

effective. If the medication patch accidentally comes off, is removed, or if it becomes detached, apply a new patch. If it is detached or comes off for longer than 24 hours,

or if you are not sure how long the patch has been detached or removed, use additional forms of birth control (e.g., condoms, spermicide) for at least 7 days and continue with

the same cycle. After removing each patch, fold the patch in half so it sticks to itself and discard it in a trash container. Do not discard or flush the patches down a toilet. If you

weigh more than 198 pounds (90 kg), this patch may not work as well for you. Make

sure your doctor knows your current weight and ask about which form of birth control

is best for you. If any of this information is unclear, consult the Patient Information

Leaflet or your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects of Ortho Evra

Nausea, vomiting, headache, redness or itching at the patch application site, dizziness, breast tenderness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, or stomach cramping/bloating may occur.

If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Promptly tell your doctor

if any of these side effects occur: dark patches on the skin (melasma), change in

appetite, weight changes (gain or loss), problem wearing contact lenses. Tell your

doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur: unusual vaginal discharge, changes in vaginal bleeding (e.g., spotting, breakthrough bleeding, prolonged or

complete stoppage of bleeding), swelling, severe headache, mental/mood changes.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur:

pain in the groin or lower legs, trouble breathing, rash, chest pain, stomach pain,

vision or eye problems. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but

very serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine, one-sided weakness, numbness in the arms/legs, lumps in the breast. If you notice other effects not listed

above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions

Ortho Evra is not recommended for use if you have the following medical conditions:

blood circulation problems (e.g., history of blood clots in the legs or groin), history of

heart disease or stroke, severe high blood pressure, diabetes (especially affecting the circulation), severe headaches, recent major surgery, long periods of sitting or lying

down (e.g., immobility such as being bedridden), liver problems, history of yellowing

eyes and skin (jaundice) during pregnancy or while using birth control pills, cancer (especially endometrial or breast cancer), undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding,

combined with smoking cigarettes significantly increase your risk for strokes, blood clots, high blood pressure, and heart attacks; especially in women older than 35 years of age.
