Ortho Evra

Ortho Evra Injuries Can Have a Debilitating Impact on Your Life

If you were harmed by a dangerous drug, the insurance company may try to limit or deny your claim or say you were negligent in the use of the product. We are familiar with the tactics insurance companies use to not pay compensation to injury victims. If you have our firm on your side, you can rest assured we will take an aggressive stance against the insurance companies to pursue the full compensation you deserve.

The contraceptive patch Ortho Evra is available by prescription. Women using Ortho Evra had as much as 60% more estrogen in their bloodstream than women who were on the pill, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found.

Risks Linked to Ortho Evra

Thrombosis, or the formation of blood clots in blood vessels, is a possible side effect of using Ortho Evra. Blood clots that occur in the legs, lungs, heart, or brain can be especially dangerous, or even may lead to a wrongful death.

Studies have shown that women using Ortho Evra may be twice as likely to experience non-fatal thrombosis as women who use oral contraceptives. Additional studies show that women who use Ortho Evra are up to three times as likely to experience fatal thrombosis.
