Ortho Evra Mechanism of Action

A notice to all Ortho Evra Birth Control Patch users:
It was discovered that the Ortho Evra patch could lead to a variety of harmful side effects, including some extremely dangerous ones like heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

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.

Contraceptive patches, namely Ortho Evra, are synthetic hormone contraceptives, similar in action to the contraceptive pill. The contraceptive patch product Ortho Evra contains 0.75 mg ethinyl estradiol and 6.0 mg norelgestromin hormones in a single patch.

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.

The gradual release of hormones over the course of each week (approximately 20 µg/day ethinyl estradiol and 150 µg/day norelgestromin) act much like contraceptive pills do. Most commonly ovulation is inhibited entirely, preventing pregnancy. Less often the cervical mucus is thickened, making it more difficult for sperm to cross through the cervix and for fertilization to 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).
