Reproductive Health Feature of the Month: The facts about the birth control patch
The patch (Ortho Evra) is a skin patch worn on the lower abdomen, buttocks, or upper body. A new patch is used every week, but one is not worn on the forth week in order to have a menstrual period. The patch is 98-99% effective at preventing pregnancy. It, however, appears to be less effective in women weighing over 198 pounds.
The patch is available at CHOICES once you have an Annual or Semi-Annual exam.
More important information
- The patch does not protect against HIV (AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted diseases.
- The patch should not be used if you smoke cigarettes and are over 35 years old.
