Ortho Evra was the first skin patch birth control approved by the FDA. The convenience that the patch represented for women was undeniable. No longer would a woman have to remember to take a pill every day at the same time, which in turn decreased the possibility of missing a birth control pill. The only requirement was to remember to change the patch every week and the protection was comparable to the pill in preventing pregnancy.

Convenient, but with Serious Risks

The drawback, however, is that the Ortho Evra patch exposes women to 60 percent more estrogen than most birth control pills. A study conducted in 2004 by the FDA concluded that Ortho Evra, as a result of the increased hormone levels, increases the risk of blood clots and related conditions (stroke, heart attack and death) by 300 percent.

In November 2005, Ortho-McNeil, the maker of Ortho Evra, was ordered to change the label on the package to warn women of the potentially life-threatening side-effects. However this warning came too late for many women. Since the product went on sale in 2002, over five million women had purchased Ortho Evra—some of whom have suffered serious injury or death.

If You Have Used Ortho Evra…

And have been injured as a result, you need to consult with a qualified Ortho Evra lawyer to ensure your legal rights are protected. The same holds true if someone you love died as a result of using the birth control patch. You may be entitled to hold the drug’s maker liable for your damages including:

• Pain and suffering
• Medical bills and related expenses
• Loss of earning capacity
• Loss of companionship or support
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• More

By contacting an Ortho Evra lawyer, you can learn more about your eligibility to recover your losses through a legal claim. However, the law limits the amount of time you have to take legal action, so it’s crucial to consult with an Ortho Evra lawyer as soon as possible.
