If you've used the Ortho Evra patch and have suffered a blood clot, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, or stroke, you may be able to file a lawsuit. To get started, please fill out this form.

Side effects of the patch are similar to other hormone contraceptives such as the pill. When starting the patch, some women may experience slight weight gain, although this depends entirely on the individual. Some experience no weight gain at all, while those who are already obese or overweight may continue to gain weight.

Some women also notice changes in the intensity of sexual desire, vaginal discharge and menstrual flow. Some other common side effects are: nausea; headaches; depression; vaginitis; urinary tract infection; breast changes; skin problems; and gum inflammation.

There is an ongoing debate over whether contraceptive patches are more likely to cause deep-vein thrombosis, or deep vein blood clots, than the pill due to the deaths of some young women recently in the United States.
