The Evra Patch is a convenient and effective combined hormonal contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy. It delivers two hormones — ethinylestradiol and norelgestromin — through the skin and into the bloodstream, providing continuous contraception without the need for daily pills. The patch is applied once a week, making it an easy-to-use option for those who prefer a low-maintenance contraceptive method.
The Evra Patch works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation. Each patch is worn for seven days, replaced weekly for three consecutive weeks, followed by a one-week break when withdrawal bleeding occurs. When used correctly, it offers over 99% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.
The Evra Patch does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Apply the patch to clean, dry, and hair-free skin on the buttocks, abdomen, or upper body. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you smoke, are over 35, or have a history of blood clots or other medical conditions. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
