Uses
This combination hormone patch is used to
prevent pregnancy. It contains hormones
similar to those in birth control pills.
The hormones release from the patch slowly
over time. Using this medication patch does
not protect you or your partner against
HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs).
How to Use
Review the Patient Information Leaflet.
Follow all instructions on how to use this
medication patch and also the best time
(during your menstrual cycle) to start using
the patch. If any of the information is
unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Open the patch container and apply one patch
to an area of clean, dry skin on the buttock,
abdomen, upper outer arm, or upper body
(torso) exactly as directed by your doctor.
The patch is worn for 7 days. Do not apply
the patch to the breast(s), the area around
the breast(s); to red, cut, or irritated
skin; or over other topical products (e.g.,
make-up, creams, lotions, powders). After
7 days, remove the old patch and apply a
new patch. Repeat this weekly cycle for
3 weeks (3 patches equal 1 cycle). After
your third patch is removed, you will have
one week without using the patch. Your menstrual
cycle (period) usually should start during
the week when you do not use the patch.
If your menstrual cycle (period) does not
begin during this week, consult your doctor.
After your 4th week, begin a new patch cycle,
even if you still are experiencing some
bleeding (still having your period). Do
not go longer than 7 days without a patch.
Doing so may make this medication less effective.
If the medication patch accidentally comes
off, is removed, or if it becomes detached,
apply a new patch. If it is detached or
comes off for longer than 24 hours, or if
you are not sure how long the patch has
been detached or removed, use additional
forms of birth control (e.g., condoms, spermicide)
for at least 7 days and continue with the
same cycle. After removing each patch, fold
the patch in half so it sticks to itself
and discard it in a trash container. Do
not discard or flush the patches down a
toilet. If you weigh more than 198 pounds
(90 kg), this patch may not work as well
for you. Make sure your doctor knows your
current weight and ask about which form
of birth control is best for you. If any
of this information is unclear, consult
the Patient Information Leaflet or your
doctor or pharmacist.
Side Effects
Nausea, vomiting, headache, redness or itching
at the patch application site, dizziness,
breast tenderness, vaginal discomfort/irritation,
or stomach cramping/bloating may occur.
If any of these effects persist or worsen,
notify your doctor. Promptly tell your doctor
if any of these side effects occur: dark
patches on the skin (melasma), change in
appetite, weight changes (gain or loss),
problem wearing contact lenses. Tell your
doctor immediately if any of these serious
side effects occur: unusual vaginal discharge,
changes in vaginal bleeding (e.g., spotting,
breakthrough bleeding, prolonged or complete
stoppage of bleeding), swelling, severe
headache, mental/mood changes. Tell your
doctor immediately if any of these unlikely
but serious side effects occur: pain in
the groin or lower legs, trouble breathing,
rash, chest pain, stomach pain, vision or
eye problems. Tell your doctor immediately
if any of these highly unlikely but very
serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes
or skin, dark urine, one-sided weakness,
numbness in the arms/legs, lumps in the
breast. If you notice other effects not
listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
This medication is not recommended for use
if you have the following medical conditions:
blood circulation problems (e.g., history
of blood clots in the legs or groin), history
of heart disease or stroke, severe high
blood pressure, diabetes (especially affecting
the circulation), severe headaches, recent
major surgery, long periods of sitting or
lying down (e.g., immobility such as being
bedridden), liver problems, history of yellowing
eyes and skin (jaundice) during pregnancy
or while using birth control pills, cancer
(especially endometrial or breast cancer),
undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding, currently
pregnant, heavy tobacco use (if 35 years
old or greater). Tell your doctor your medical
history, especially of: high cholesterol
or triglyceride (fat) levels, depression,
high blood pressure, gallbladder problems,
thyroid problems, any allergies. Do not
smoke cigarettes. Hormonal birth control
(e.g., pills, injections, devices) products
combined with smoking cigarettes significantly
increase your risk for strokes, blood clots,
high blood pressure, and heart attacks;
especially in women older than 35 years
of age. Ask your doctor or pharmacist or
consult the patient information leaflet
that comes with this product for more details.
Before having surgery, including dental
surgery, tell the doctor(s) that you are
using this product. The drugs in this patch
may cause blotchy, dark areas on your skin
(melasma) and sunlight may intensify this
effect. If this occurs, avoid prolonged
sun exposure, use a sunscreen, and wear
protective clothing when outdoors. If you
are near-sighted or wear contact lenses,
you may develop vision problems or may have
problems wearing your contact lenses. Contact
your eye doctor if these problems occur.
This medication device must not be used
in pregnancy. If you become pregnant or
think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor
immediately. The medication from this patch
passes into breast milk and may have undesirable
effects on the nursing infant. Consult your
doctor before breast-feeding.

approval.
