To ensure the effectiveness of ORTHO EVRA®, do not place the Patch on areas of your skin where makeup, lotions, creams, powders or other products are or will be applied. In addition, do not place ORTHO EVRA® on skin that is red, irritated or cut.
It is important when using the Patch to change where you stick it on your body each week to avoid skin irritation.
When removing your used patch, simply lift one corner and quickly peel it back. If a small ring of adhesive is left on your skin, remove it by rubbing a small amount of baby oil on the area.
The Patch adheres well to the skin, allowing you to perform your daily activities such as bathing, showering, swimming and exercising without interruption. If the sticky surface of the Patch becomes wet, discard it and apply a new patch.
It is not recommended that you move your birth control patch to a new location in the middle of the week. The Patch may not stick as well if you attempt to change its location.
You should not write on the Patch, cut, alter or damage it in any way. Modifying the Patch may affect the amount of medication that is delivered through the skin into the bloodstream, which may increase your risk of becoming pregnant.
