The Evra Patch is a branded contraceptive patch that releases hormones into the body through the skin to stop pregnancy from occurring.
Evra patches are a type of combined contraception because they contain both oestrogen and progestogen. Specifically, they contain a progestogen called norelgestromin and an oestrogen called ethinyl estradiol.
How do Evra patches work?
Evra patches work similarly to the combined pill except they are worn on the skin rather than swallowed like a tablet. The patches are approximately 5 cm by 5 cm and contain man-made versions of oestrogen and progesterone that are released through the skin into the body.
These hormones work to stop pregnancy by:
Stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation)
Thickening the cervical mucus, so sperm find it difficult to travel through the cervix
Thinning the womb lining so an egg cannot attach to it
How to use Evra Patches
Where you should apply Evra Patch?
Evra patches should be stuck to any area of the skin that is clean, dry and free from hair. You should apply the patch exactly as a clinician has told you to.
Patch Change Schedule
Generally, you will wear one Evra patch for 7 days before changing it for a new one on the 8th day. You should change your patch on the same day each week. You should do this for 3 weeks and then have one week off. During this week, you will not wear an Evra patch.
During this week, you may experience a withdrawal bleed. This is similar to having a period and happens because of the fluctuating hormones.
After 7 days of not wearing a patch, you should begin the 4-week cycle again. You should apply a new patch, even if you are still having a withdrawal bleed.
Extended use of Evra Patch:
Evra patches can also be applied for extended use. If you use it like this, you will wear an Evra patch for 9 weeks followed by a patch-free break for the following 4 or 7 days.
While wearing an Evra contraceptive patch you can shower, exercise, and swim as normal without the patch coming off. You should check to make sure the patch is still in place after participating in any of these activities.
What happens if the Evra patch comes off?
If the patch becomes loose, lifts at the edges or falls off, you should not try to re-stick it with tape. What you should do if the patch does fall off, depends on how long it has been removed.
If it has been off for less than 24 hours: You should try to reapply the patch or apply a new patch straight away if the current patch is not sticky, has stuck to itself or another surface, or has other material stuck to it or it’s the second time that the patch has become loose or fallen off. You should not need to use any other forms of contraception, and your patch change day should be the same.
If it has been more than 24 hours: You should start a new four-week cycle straight away by putting on a new patch. You will now have a new day 1 and a new patch change day. As a precaution, you will need to use a barrier method of contraception, such as condoms, for the first week of your new cycle.

How effective is the Evra patch?
If the Evra patch is used correctly, it is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Research shows that the annual probability of pregnancy while using the contraceptive patch is 0.8% while method failure is approximately 0.6%.
Compliance with the method of contraception can play a key role in its efficacy. A recent study showed that the use of a transdermal patch was the preferred parenteral method and that women were more likely to comply with the patch than the combined oral contraceptive pill.
