Evra Patches

What are Evra Patches?

Evra Patches are a highly effective, reversible form of hormonal contraception designed for women who prefer a convenient alternative to the daily birth control pill. Often referred to as "the patch," Evra is a thin, beige, transdermal patch that measures approximately 20 square centimetres. It works by releasing a steady flow of two hormones—norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol—directly through the skin and into the bloodstream.

These hormones prevent pregnancy in three ways: by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg, thickening the cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to reach an egg, and thinning the lining of the womb to prevent a fertilised egg from implanting. If you are looking to buy Evra Patches online, Prescriptsy offers a secure and professional service to ensure you receive genuine medication from an EU-regulated pharmacy. This treatment is now available through online consultation, ensuring that a qualified clinician reviews your medical history before a prescription is issued.

Benefits of Choosing Evra Patches

Many women choose Evra because it simplifies their contraceptive routine. Rather than remembering to take a pill at the exact same time every day, the patch only needs to be changed once a week. This significantly reduces the margin for human error and provides peace of mind for those with busy lifestyles.

• High Efficacy: When used correctly, Evra is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
• Convenience: You only need to think about your contraception once a week for three weeks of the month.
• Discreet and Reliable: The patch is designed to stay in place during exercise, showering, swimming, and bathing.
• Regulated Quality: At Prescriptsy, we provide only genuine Evra Patches (available in 9 pcs. and 18 pcs. packs) dispensed from licensed pharmacies.
• Professional Oversight: Our process ensures that while you can access your medication conveniently, you still receive the necessary medical screening via an online consultation with EU-licensed doctors.
• Privacy: All orders are shipped in discrete packaging to maintain your confidentiality.

How to Use Evra Patches Properly

To ensure continuous protection against pregnancy, it is vital to follow the application schedule strictly. Each Evra patch is worn for seven days. You should apply a new patch on the same day each week (your "Patch Change Day") for three consecutive weeks, followed by one "Patch-Free Week."

Follow these steps for correct application:

• Choose the Location: Apply the patch to a clean, dry, hairless area of intact healthy skin. Recommended areas include the buttock, abdomen, upper outer arm, or upper torso (avoiding the breasts).
• Application: Press the patch firmly onto the skin with the palm of your hand for 10 seconds, ensuring the edges stick well.
• The Cycle: Change your patch on Day 8 and Day 15. On Day 22, remove the third patch and do not apply a new one for exactly seven days. You will usually experience a withdrawal bleed during this week.
• Rotation: Always apply your new patch to a different area of skin than the previous one to avoid irritation.

If you are switching from the oral contraceptive pill or another method, our clinicians will provide specific guidance during your online consultation on when to apply your first patch.

Possible Side Effects

Evra is a prescription-only medication. While it is safe for most women, it is not suitable for everyone. During your online consultation, it is essential to disclose your full medical history, especially if you have a history of blood clots, heart disease, high blood pressure, or migraines with aura. Women over the age of 35 who smoke are generally advised to use non-hormonal or progestogen-only contraceptives due to an increased risk of cardiovascular issues.

Potential Side Effects:

Like all hormonal contraceptives, some users may experience side effects as their body adjusts to the hormones. These are usually mild and include:

• Skin irritation or redness at the application site.
• Nausea or headaches.
• Breast tenderness or enlargement.
• Mood swings or breakthrough bleeding (spotting) between periods.

If you experience any severe symptoms, such as sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe pain and swelling in one leg, you must seek medical attention immediately. By choosing Prescriptsy to buy Evra Patches online, you are opting for a service that prioritises your safety, providing access to regulated medication and professional medical advice through a legitimate, transparent process.
