Florida Ortho Evra® Side Effect Attorneys
Recent years have seen a mushrooming number of birth control options for women, including the contraceptive patch Ortho-Evra. Unfortunately, Ortho-Evra is not right for every woman - and the effects of the patch can be sudden and extremely severe. Here's more information on the dangers of Ortho-Evra and what you can do if you've experienced its side effects.
Ortho-Evra is manufactured by Ortho-McNeil and was approved for use by the FDA in 2001. The patch is used both for birth control purposes and the off-label treatment of severe acne and works by delivering estrogen and progestin into the blood stream via the skin. While women using the patch may experience side effects similar to those they could experience on the pill (enlarged or tender breasts, disrupted menstrual cycle, bloating, cramps, mood changes), they are also at higher risk for severe Ortho Evra side effects such as pulmonary embolism, blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.
The FDA made McNeil update its warning labels in 2005, citing the patch's increased estrogen delivery and its connection to potentially fatal blood clots and cardiovascular episodes; it claims to be constantly monitoring the safety of the patch, which is still on pharmacy shelves to date. In fact, the patch delivers up to 60 percent more estrogen than the typical birth control pill. Unfortunately, this may not be enough for the women who have already struggled with Ortho-Evra's potentially fatal side effects. Luckily, these women may take advantage of the civil courts and file an Ortho-Evra lawsuit seeking compensation for their injuries.
