Some ORTHO EVRA side effects can be serious

ORTHO EVRA combines progestin and estrogen and exposes you to
60% more estrogen than if you used a typical birth control pill.
In general, increased estrogen exposure may increase the risk of
side effects. The progestin in ORTHO EVRA - norelgestromin -
first entered the marketplace in 2001. Norelgestromin is the
active breakdown product, or metabolite, of norgestimate, the
progestin contained in some brands of oral birth control pills
