Ortho Evra Lawsuit Research - Ortho Evra Side Effects: Breast Cancer & Reproductive Cancer

Breast Cancer

Various studies give conflicting reports on the relationship between breast cancer and hormonal contraceptive use.

Hormonal contraceptives, including the Ortho Evra patch, may slightly increase your chance of developing breast cancer, particularly after using them at a younger age. After you stop using hormonal contraceptives, your chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer begin to decrease.

You should have regular breast examinations by a health care professional and examine your own breasts monthly. Tell your health care professional if you have a family history of breast cancer or if you have had breast nodules or an abnormal mammogram.

Women who currently have or have had breast cancer should not use any contraceptives that contain hormones because breast cancer is usually a hormone-sensitive tumor.

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).

Reproductive Cancer

Some studies have found an increase in cancer of the cervix (the narrow, lower portion of the uterus) in women who use oral contraceptives for long periods of time, although this finding may be related to factors other than the use of oral contraceptives. At this time, there is insufficient evidence to rule out the possibility that oral contraceptives may cause such cancers.
