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.

The usual dosage is one patch per week for three consecutive weeks, followed by a 7-day patch-free interval each month.

Evra patches typically have a shelf life of about 2 years from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use.

Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep patches in their original pouch until use. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Do not use Evra if you have a history of blood clots, stroke, heart attack, liver disease, breast or uterine cancer, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. It should also not be used during pregnancy or by women who smoke and are over age 35.

Certain medications such as antibiotics (e.g., rifampicin), anticonvulsants, HIV or Hepatitis C antivirals, and herbal remedies like St. John’s Wort can reduce the effectiveness of Evra. While food does not affect the patch, it’s essential to consult your doctor or pharmacist if you’re taking other medicines regularly.
