Ortho Evra Lawsuit Research: Ortho Evra Side Effects

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Ortho Evra cases.

Unfortunately, the Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch has lead to many harmful side effects. If you or someone you love has suffered after using Ortho Evra, you may be entitled to a lawsuit. All you need to do is fill out a form and you will receive a free case evaluation from Weitz & Luxenberg.


The most common side effects of Ortho Evra include nausea and vomiting, breast tenderness or soreness, headache, menstrual cramps, and abdominal pain. In addition, change in appetite, nervousness, depression, dizziness, loss of scalp hair, rash at the patch site, and vaginal infections may occur.

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).

Ortho Evra is also known to have the following side effects:

Blood Clot Heart Attack Stroke
Pulmonary Embolism Gallbladder Disease Liver Tumor
Breast/Reproductive Cancer Skin Irritation Vaginal Bleeding
Elevated Blood Pressure Melasma

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.
