Orthoevra

Were you looking for information about Ortho Evra? Orthoevra is a common misspelling of Ortho Evra.
 
Ortho Evra® (norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol) is a type of contraceptive that works in a similar way as combined oral contraceptives (birth control pills that contain both an estrogen and a progestin). However, Ortho Evra comes in the form of a patch, rather than a pill. A new patch must be applied each week for the first three weeks of your cycle. Prior to taking Ortho Evra, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about your medical history and any other medicines you are taking (including vitamins and herbal supplements).
