Ortho Evra Patch Side Effects:
Have you been put at risk?

Ortho Evra patch side effects are unlike the side effects normally associated with the use of drugs or other forms of medical devices. High estrogen levels, the side effect in question, were present in users of Ortho Evra birth control pills and were therefore expected in the Ortho Evra patch. However, the net increase of estrogen levels in Ortho Evra patch users was higher than those in pill users. Potentially fatal Ortho Evra patch side effects were the result of this change.

The Ortho Evra patch was produced to provide convenience and security for users of birth control pills. However, as a result of incorrect labeling concerning potentially fatal Ortho Evra side effects, Ortho Evra patch lawyers have started to assist users of the Ortho Evra patch in settling claims and filing Ortho Evra patch lawsuits. If you are a past or present user of Ortho Evra, it is imperative for you to read the information on this web site in order to determine if you are eligible for compensation through a settlement or an Ortho Evra patch lawsuit.

The increased risk of severe Ortho Evra side effects has left Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., the manufacturers of the drug, liable for the injury and death of many Ortho Evra patch users. Those who were not explicitly injured are still affected by their negligence since they unknowingly used a product more dangerous than they believed it to be. Anyone who used the patch before Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc. acknowledged unintended, dangerous Ortho Evra side effects should not hesitate to consult a Ortho Evra patch lawyer.

Having to change a patch once a week rather than consuming a pill each day is an attractive perk for users of Ortho Evra. Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., failed to adequately inform users of the Ortho Evra patch regarding important differences between patch and pill. For instance, the distribution of the estrogen hormone varies widely between the two. As a result, the Ortho Evra patch places users at a greater risk for blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks. For more information regarding these differences, please see our Ortho Evra FAQ.
