A member asked:

Is the ortho evra patch safe to use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

For most people, yes: Without knowing a person's history, it is impossible to tell someone what is safe to take and what isn't. In a nonsmoking woman who has no history of blood clots or high blood pressure and not a strong family history of blood clots or strokes, Ortho Evra is a safe and effective form of birth control
