You should see three separate Ortho Evra use patches during each 4-week cycle. Apply a patch a week for the first 3 weeks, then spend the fourth week patch-free. Your menstrual period should start during the fourth week.
If you miss a dose ...
If the patch becomes loose or falls to less than 1 day, try to stick it on again, or ask a new patch immediately. If it is lacking for more than 1 day's, or you're not sure how long it has been turned off, there's a chance you could get pregnant and you should use a backup method of contraception. Check the Ortho Evra patient information for instructions.
If you forget to change your patch at any time during the 4-week cycle, check the Ortho Evra patient information for instructions.
Storage instructions ...
Keep patches in their protective bags until you are ready, they are worn. Store at room temperature. Not in the refrigerator or freezer.
Used patches still contain active hormones. Fold each patch so that it sticks before throwing it away. Do not flush the used patch down the toilet.
