Ortho Evra - What to Watch for Before and After Using the Patch

The Ortho Evra birth control patch has come under much scrutiny in recent years, and the basis for this scrutiny is the discovery that its use can lead to an increased risk of several serious and even life-threatening side effects. As is the case with all drugs and products like this one, there are pre-existing conditions that can be present in a subject that should prompt you to find another solution for birth control.

Below are examples of those pre-existing conditions, and that's followed by a list of the side effects that women have experienced, potentially as a result of using the Ortho Evra birth control patch.

Pre-existing Conditions

  • a history of strokes or blood clots
  • circulation problems
  • diabetes
  • a history of breast or uterine cancer
  • a high level of vaginal bleeding
  • liver disease
  • liver cancer
  • high blood pressure
  • the tendency to suffer from migraine headaches
This is not an exhaustive list, and the general guideline should be to consult your doctor regarding any medical condition you've suffered before you begin to use this product.

Side Effects

Regardless of whether or not you have any of the conditions listed above, you should always be wary of any of the side effects and speak to your doctor immediately if any of them surface:
  • nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps
  • breast pain or swelling
  • freckles or darkening of facial skin
  • increased hair growth
  • loss of scalp hair
  • changes in weight or appetite
  • vaginal itching or irregular discharge
  • changes in your menstrual periods
  • decreased sex drive
  • headaches
  • anxiety
  • dizziness
  • chronic fatigue
Again, these are not the only side effects that should prompt you to seek immediate medical attention. In fact, ANY strange occurrences that arise after you begin to take the patch should be reported to your doctor.

If you have been injured by the Ortho Evra birth control patch, you should also contact an Ortho Evra attorney at Williams Kherkher immediately for a free consultation.
