Ortho Evra Label Information is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use a transdermal patch as a method of contraception. The pharmacokinetic profile for the Ortho Evra transdermal patch is different from that of an oral contraceptive. Healthcare professionals should balance the higher estrogen exposure with Ortho Evra against the chance of pregnancy if a contraceptive pill is not taken daily. It is not known whether there are differences in the risk of serious adverse events.

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).

Like oral contraceptives, Ortho Evra is highly effective if used as recommended in this label.

In 3 large clinical trials in North America, Europe and South Africa, 3,330 women (ages 18-45) completed 22,155 cycles of Ortho Evra use, pregnancy rates were approximately 1 per 100 women-years of Ortho Evra use. The racial distribution was 91% Caucasian, 4.9% Black, 1.6% Asian, and 2.4% Other.

With respect to weight, 5 of the 15 pregnancies reported with Ortho Evra use were among women with a baseline body weight =198 lbs. (90kg), which constituted <3% of the study population. The greater proportion of pregnancies among women at or above 198 lbs. was statistically significant and suggests that Ortho Evra may be less effective in these women.

Health Care Professionals who consider Ortho Evra for women at or above 198 lbs. should discuss the patient's individual needs in choosing the most appropriate contraceptive option.
