Choosing the right Ortho Evra law firm experienced in birth control litigation is extremely important. If you used the Ortho Evra patch and suffered a serious adverse event such as a heart attack, stroke or blood clot, an Ortho Evra law firm associated with this free service may be interested in speaking with you.

Ortho Evra was introduced to the public in 2001 as the first transdermal (skin) patch approved for birth control. The weekly prescription releases the hormones progestin and estrogen through the skin into the blood stream to prevent pregnancy. In 2005, Ortho McNeil, the patch's maker and a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, issued a warning to the millions of women using Ortho Evra revealing that the patch exposes them to significant amounts of estrogen and may place them at risk of developing blood clots.
