When you or your loved one first started using Ortho Evra® as your birth control method, you were probably thinking of the convenience of only having to think about birth control once a week.

Dangers of Ortho Evra® Suspected Prior to FDA Approval

 

When Ortho McNeil, a division of Johnson & Johnson was developing Ortho Evra®, there was good reason to suspect it was dangerous. In its own studies, the company admitted that it could not confirm the amount of estrogen the patch delivered.  With complex mathematical manipulation, the company produced a report that convinced the FDA that the company knew the level of estrogen delivered by the patch.  Despite this, the company sought and obtained FDA approval and by doing so, placed many women at risk for suffering serious health injuries.
