Ortho
Evra Patch - How To Use
Review the Patient
Information Leaflet. Follow all instructions on how to use this medication
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 this medication 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.

This medication 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

or consult the patient information leaflet that comes with this product
for more details. Before having surgery, including dental surgery, tell

may cause blotchy, dark areas on your skin (melasma) and sunlight may
intensify this effect. If this occurs, avoid prolonged sun exposure,
use a sunscreen, and wear protective clothing when outdoors. If you
are near-sighted or wear contact lenses, you may develop vision problems
or may have problems wearing your contact lenses. Contact your eye doctor
if these problems occur. This medication device must not be used in
pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform
your doctor immediately. The medication from this patch passes into
breast milk and may have undesirable effects on the nursing infant.
