How does the Evra patch work?
Evra patch is applied to the skin where it gives off hormones. You use 3 patches for 3 weeks (you change the patch every week) and subsequently add a patch-free week to allow menstruation. The Evra patch should be applied to clean, dry and hairless skin.
Is a birth control patch as save as taking the conventional pill?
The Evra patch contains two hormones, norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol, and thereby prevents pregnancy in the same way as a contraceptive pill. You have to remember however to take the pill daily, whereas you only have to change the patch once a week. The hormones in the Evra patch are transferred through the skin, therefore it is not negatively influenced by vomitting or diarrhoea whereas the pill is.
