Drug Uses

Ortho Evra is a contraceptive (birth control) skin patch used to prevent pregnancy. It is a combination hormonal contraceptive because it contains two hormones, estrogen and progestin. It does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.

How Taken

This birth control method uses a 28-day (four-week) cycle. One topical patch is applied and kept in place for one week. A new topical patch is applied each week for three weeks in a row (21 total days). You should not apply a patch during the fourth week (a one-week break). During the one-week break, you should have your menstrual period. Every new patch should be applied on the same day of the week; this will be your 'Patch Change Day'. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding when to start using Ortho Evra and whether back-up contraception is needed temporarily. Clean and dry the area of skin where the patch will be applied. The patch can be placed on the buttock, abdomen, upper outer arm, or upper torso in a place where it won't be rubbed by tight clothing. Never put the patch on the breasts. To avoid skin irritation, apply each new patch to a different place on the skin. Do not apply the patches to skin that are red, irritated or cut. Do not use creams, oils, powder, or makeup on the skin where you will put a patch or near a patch your are wearing. It may cause the patch to become loose. If a patch causes irritation, it can be removed and a new patch may be applied to a new location until the next 'Patch Change Day'. Only one patch should be worn at a time.

Warnings/Precautions

The risks associated with using Ortho Evra increase significantly if you: smoke, have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol, have or have had clotting disorders, heart attack, stroke, chest pain (angina pectoris), and cancer of the breast or reproductive organs, jaundice, or malignant or benign liver tumors. Ortho Evra may be less effective in women weighing more than 198 lbs. (90 kg). Do not use Ortho Evra without first talking to your doctor if you weigh more than 198 lbs. (90 kg). Ortho Evra is in the FDA pregnancy category X. This means that Ortho Evra is known to cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Do not use Ortho Evra if you are pregnant. Ortho Evra may decrease milk flow and have other effects on milk composition. Do not use Ortho Evra without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

You now have a different Patch Change Day and a new Day 1. You must use back-up contraception for the first week of your new cycle.

Possible Side Effects

Some common side effects with combination hormonal contraceptives like Ortho Evra are:
-breast tenderness and enlargement
-headache
-nausea
-menstrual changes
-abdominal cramps and bloating
-vaginal discharge.

Storage

Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15-30°C (59-86°F). Store patches in their protective pouches. Apply immediately upon removal from the protective pouch. Do not store in the refrigerator or freezer. Used patches still contain some active hormones. Each patch should be carefully folded in half so that it sticks to itself before safely disposing of it in the trash. Used patches should not be flushed down the toilet.

Overdose

Ortho Evra is unlikely to cause an overdose because the patch releases a steady amount of the hormones. Do not use more than one patch at a time. Serious ill effects have not been reported when young children accidentally took large doses of oral contraceptives. Over dosage may cause nausea and vomiting. Vaginal bleeding may occur in females. In case of over dosage, contact your health care professional or pharmacist.

More Information

Your health care professional will take a medical and family history before prescribing Ortho Evra and will examine you. You should be reexamined at least once a year. Be sure to inform your health care professional if there is a family history of any of the conditions listed previously in this leaflet. Be sure to keep all appointments with your health care professional, because this is a time to determine if there are early signs of side effects of hormonal contraceptive use. Do not use the drug for any condition other than the one for which it was prescribed. This drug has been prescribed specifically for you; do not give it to others who may want birth control. If you want more information about Ortho Evra, ask your health care professional or pharmacist.

Testimonials

Just wanted to write and say that I'm VERY satisfied with my Ortho Evra purchase. I was skeptical at first, the price seemed too good and the shipping process too convoluted. But I sucked it up and took the plunge, ordered Ortho Evra and sat back to wait for packages that might never come. Happily I was SO wrong! The quality of the Ortho Evra is outstanding. If you're sitting there, wondering whether or not you should go ahead and make a purchase from Rxstore-online.com, quit wondering! The best prices, excellent service, and a top-notch product are all present here. Go for it!

I will do all of my medical business through Rxstore-online.com from this point forward. Thank you for your proactive efforts and strong customer focused business practices. I can honestly say my Ortho Evra purchase experience has been outstanding! - Sincerely, Frank

Your focus on customer service is outstanding and has won me over as a long time Ortho Evra customer. I have already recommended Rxstore-online.com to two of my friends and will continue to do so in the future. I am also very pleased with the quality of your product and accompanying reference materials that I received with my order.

I received both packets a few weeks ago and I am very pleased with Rxstore-online.com. Thank you for the extra 4 Ortho Evra samples. When dealing with people so far away, and through the internet, I sometimes wonder if I will even receive anything for my money. I would not hesitate to use your services again or to recommend you to friends.

F.A.Q

What happens after I place an Ortho Evra order?
Once your order has been approved, it will be forwarded to the pharmacy for fulfillment and shipment the same day. We will notify you by e-mail once your order has been processed. More information about shipping can be found on the shipping page.

What about importing of Ortho Evra to my country?
Importation of prescription medication is legal in most countries (including the US, UK, France, Spain, Hong Kong, Japan and S. Korea) provided the medication is for personal use and is not a controlled substance. If you are in doubt about the situation in your country, check with your local Post Office.

How long will it take for my Ortho Evra order to arrive?
If you place your Ortho Evra order before 12 noon PST in most cases it will arrive the very next day via FedEX Next Day service. Orders placed later in the day almost always take an extra day to arrive because of the time it takes to have a Doctor review your order before a prescription can be written and sent to the pharmacy for shipment. If for any reason your Ortho Evra order has not arrived within 2 business days please contact our support to see what is causing the delay.

How does the entire process work?
After you fill out and submit the Ortho Evra order form and detailed medical questionaire, one of our licensed U.S. physicians will determine if you are eligible to benefit from the medication you have chosen. If you are eligible, the physician will then write a prescription for that medication and forward it to a one of our licensed U.S. pharmacies to be filled. The pharmacy will then fill and ship your order via FedEx NextDay Air to your home in discreet packaging.
