Women have used the popular birth control for years.  The way women used birth control has changed dramatically.  The development of the popular contraceptive, Ortho Evra patch, is convenient for women to use because it’s a lot easier than taking pills. 
Rather than women taking pills that can be lost or used inappropriately (such as a woman forgetting to take her scheduled pill) patients who are prescribed the Ortho Evra birth control patch are required to wear this patch on a weekly basis as prescribed by their physician. 
The function of the Ortho Evra patch is to release ethinyl estradiol, known as an estrogen hormone and norelgestromin that is released through the patient’s skin and then it spreads throughout the blood stream.  
The purpose for many women who use this form of birth control is to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.  However, for many, it’s sort of a catch 22.  The Ortho patch allegedly exposes women to higher estrogen levels than the traditional birth control pill. When there is a malfunction in a birth control that causes alleged harm to patients it can cause a major interruption in a patient’s life…it can be dangerous even life threatening.
The Food and Drug Administration continues to recommend that women discuss with their gynecologists on how to use the Ortho Evra patch.  Gynecologists’, physicians and even health care providers should inform their patients about the risks related to increasing estrogen exposure against the risk of pregnancy and continue to monitor their patients’ health.
The exposure to high levels of estrogen leads to increase in blood clots.  Ortho McNeil Pharmaceuticals, is conducting studies and comparing the risk of women developing serious blood clots who are currently using Ortho Evra and comparing it to women who use the traditional birth control pill contain lower levels of estrogen. 
While medical experts conduct studies and doctors monitor patients and warn them of the risks of taking the birth control patch, Ortho Evra lawyers continue to provide legal consultation to clients who were injured by alleged medical malpractice and negligence.
If you have used the Ortho Evra birth control patch and have experienced Ortho Evra side effects such as blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, or death of a loved one, it is important to talk to Ortho Evra lawyers immediately. You may be entitled to monetary damages.
