Birth Control Patch

What is the birth control patch?
The Ortho Evra birth control patch is a highly effective, weekly hormonal birth control patch that is worn on the skin to prevent pregnancy. The patch is worn for one week and replaced on the same day of the week for three consecutive weeks, with the fourth week "patch-free." Ortho Evra combines the efficacy of the birth control pill with once-a-week dosing.

How does the patch prevent pregnancy?
Ortho Evra prevents pregnancy the same way as birth control pills. It works primarily by preventing ovulation, which means that the ovary does not release an egg to be fertilized. The patch keeps you from becoming pregnant by delivering continuous levels of the hormones norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol (progestin and estrogen, respectively) through the skin and into the bloodstream (this is called transdermal administration). Norelgestromin is the primary active metabolite of norgestimate—the progestin used in the #1 prescribed birth control pill in the United States. Ortho Evra also causes changes to the cervical mucus (making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus).
