Patch Side Effects * Birth Control Patch Alert * Ortho Evra Recall * Warning Signs * Serious Side Effects

Patch side effects are related to the transdermal application of the weekly birth control patch. The FDA Ortho Evra recall/Ortho Evra patch alerts have stemmed from serious side effects from higher levels of estrogen in the bloodstream because the patch is attached directly to the skin. Many blood clot warning signs have been linked to the birth control patch, and Ortho-McNeil, the manufacturer, has been ordered by the FDA to label the drug by detailing the dangers of a transdermal patch. Other contraceptives are not placed directly on the skin, and release 60% less estrogen than the birth control patch.

Public awareness of patch side effects and warning signs of serious side effects of the birth control patch has increased, however many women may not know the dangers of higher levels of estrogen:

·High levels of estrogen and progestin may lead to Deep Vein Thrombosis
·Potential risk of heart attack
·High risk of Pulmonary Embolism

Hazardous patch side effects resulting from weekly usage of a birth control patch, specifically the patch named in the Ortho Evra patch alert/Ortho Evra recall, have been linked to several deaths nationwide. Although Ortho-McNeil has added an additional label to the transdermal patch product, women may not be aware of the extremely serious side effects. Warning signs are linked to higher levels of estrogen released from the birth control patch than can be absorbed, resulting in possible liability to the manufacturer. Other forms of contraceptives do not pose the same health threats as those listed in the Ortho Evra patch alert.
