Legal News: Idaho Woman Sues Drugmaker Over Ortho Evra Patch Problems


October 16, 2006

In legal news in Boise, Idaho, a woman using the Ortho Evra birth-control patch is now suing Johnson and Johnson, as well as drugmaker Ortho McNeil, after developing deep vein thrombosis.

According to a report in The Associated Press, Katy McKellips Braman, 17, began using the patch in 2004, and developed a dangerous blood clot just a month after being on the Ortho Evra patch.

Braman is suing to get the companies to pay her damages and to cover the costs of future medical treatment.

In a warning last month, the Food and Drug Administration issued an updated warning on the label of the Ortho Evra birth-control patch, informing consumers that women who use it face the possibility of an increased risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs if they use Ortho Evra instead of The Pill.

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).
