Ortho Evra Side Effect: Pulmonary Embolism

Find out about a dangerous side effect from the Ortho Evra birth control patch:
A pulmonary embolism is a serious medical condition that occurs when a blood clot becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes, or blocks, the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs.

If you have suffered a pulmonary embolism, 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. For a free lawsuit case evaluation, please complete this brief form.

Symptoms of a pulmonary embolism, or PE, may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and, more rarely, circulatory instability and death.

Signs of PE include sudden-onset dyspnea (shortness of breath, 73%), tachypnea (rapid breathing, 70%), chest pain of a "pleuritic" nature (worsened by breathing, 66%), cough (37%), hemoptysis (coughing up blood, 13%), and in severe cases, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin due to the drop in oxygen in the blood), tachycardia (rapid heart rate), hypotension, shock, loss of consciousness, and death.

Although most cases have no clinical evidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), or a deep vein clot, in the legs, findings that indicate DVT may aid in the diagnosis.
