Discuss with doctor: You should not be using other peoples medication without guidance and a prescription from a doctor. The patch contains hormones. You would not want to expose your self without first knowing if it is a safe medication for you. If you are considering becoming sexual active it is a great idea to see a doctor first and discuss your birth control options.
