Othro Evra Legal Guide

When the Ortho Evra transdermal birth control patch was first introduced to the marketplace in 2002 by Ortho McNeil Pharmaceutical Inc. as an alternative to the birth control pill, American women celebrated the convenience and effectiveness of the method. However, evidence of dangerous complications began to emerge as more and more women began using the patch.

Due in part to the elevated levels of estrogen caused by the patch, episodes of dangerous blood clots were reported. In fact, a 2004 study conducted by the FDA revealed that Ortho Evra caused a 300% increase of blood clot-related incidents. These blood clots can cause strokes, heart attacks, and pulmonary embolisms which are possibly fatal.

A trusted prescription medication should never leave someone vulnerable to such devastating risks without proper warning. If you have suffered from the negative effects of Ortho Evra, you may be entitled to compensation for your physical and emotional distress. Help ensure that companies are more vigilant about warning consumers of the potentially catastrophic consequences of their medications.
