How does the patch stay on?
ORTHO EVRA uses clinically proven patch technology, which has a layer containing both the medication and an adhesive that keeps the patch on the skin for an entire week. When applying the ORTHO EVRA birth control patch, it is important to press down firmly on the patch with the palm of your hand for 10 seconds, making sure that the edges stick well. ORTHO EVRA remains attached and effective even when you bathe, swim, exercise, or wear it in humid conditions.
In clinical trials, less than 2 percent of birth control patches had to be replaced because of complete detachment and less than three percent had to be replaced because of partial detachment. In the rare event that you need an extra patch, your doctor or healthcare professional has given you an extra patch prescription.
