Description
Introduction
Evra 6mg/600mcg Transdermal Patch belongs to a group of medicines called hormonal contraceptives and contains two active hormones: norelgestromin and ethinylestradiol. This easy-to-use patch is applied directly to your skin and slowly releases the hormones into your body over time. Common side effects may include skin irritation where the patch is placed, headaches, breast tenderness, and mood swings. If you’re looking for a convenient way to manage your routine with minimal fuss, Evra might be a great fit—no need to remember daily pills, and it’s discreet and travel-friendly.

Apply one patch to clean, dry, and hairless skin on your buttock, abdomen, upper outer arm, or upper torso and leave it on for exactly 7 days before replacing it with a new one.
