What is Ortho Evra?

The Ortho Evra patch, norelgestromin / ethinyl estradiol transdermal system, is marketed by Ortho McNeil Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson. The Ortho Evra patch is a contraceptive device for women in the form of a patch that is attached to the skin. Unlike traditional birth control pills that are taken every day, a new patch is applied to the woman's body once every seven days and the hormones in the patch are gradually released throughout the week. Ortho Evra was the first birth control skin patch approved by the FDA when it received its approval in November of 2001. It was heavily marketed when it was first introduced as a much more convenient alternative to the traditional birth control pills. It is estimated that over 4 million women have used the Ortho Evra patch since Ortho McNeil introduced it to the market.
