- Inform patient regarding the risks and benefits of combined hormonal contraceptives.
- How to apply the patch: Apply to clean, dry, intact healthy skin on the buttock, abdomen, upper outer arm or upper torso, in a place where it won’t be rubbed by tight clothing. Do not place on skin that is red, irritated or cut, and do not place on the breasts.
- Other skin products: To prevent interference with the adhesive properties, no makeup, creams, lotions, oils, powders or other topical products should be applied to the skin area where the patch is or will be placed.
- Usual activities, including exercise, bathing and swimming can be maintained while wearing the patch.
- Rotate patch sites: new patches can be applied to sites near the previous site, but not to the same site.
- Once removed, a used patch should be folded to stick to itself and discarded in a waste receptacle out of the reach of children and pets (do not flush in toilet).
