Ortho Evra Lawsuits - Combination Hormonal Contraceptive Side Effects
Published: June 12, 2007
Ortho Evra is a combination hormonal contraceptive. The hormones estrogen and progestin are combined in Ortho Evra and released through the skin together.
According to the FDA, combination hormonal contraceptives are associated with a number of health risks including strokes. Other risks include myocardial infarction, thromboembolism, hepatic neoplasia, and gallbladder disease. Existing medical conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemias, obesity or diabetes in women using Ortho Evra can pose a risks of even more serious side effects.
The strokes caused by Ortho Evra can be particularly difficult to detect. Stroke symptoms are often ignored or seem minor. If you use the birth control patch then be extra alert for signs and symptoms of strokes.
