Embolic Stroke and Ortho Evra: How are they related?

Ortho Evra has been linked to Embolic strokes. In embolic stroke, an embolus, or a travelling particle in a blood vessel, flows with the bloodstream into progressively smaller arteries until it becomes lodged, inhibiting passage of blood. An embolus is most frequently a blood clot, but it can also be plaque that has broken off from a blood vessel or other things including fat, air, and even cancerous cells (Perry and Miller, 1961).

An embolism may also form when the heart pumps ineffectively, allowing the blood to pool and coagulate, as in certain heart arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.

Now you can receive important updated information on the risks to using the Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch. Request a complimentary information booklet (supplies are limited). If you have suffered a stroke, heart attack, blood clot, or other serious side effects from using the Ortho Evra birth control patch, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
