Product Information
This medicine is an estrogen and progestin combination used to prevent pregnancy. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. Remove patch from foil and peel off liner. Apply to area of clean, dry skin on the abdomen, buttocks, upper outer arm, or upper torso. Do not apply at the waistline, breast, or other place where it would be rubbed by tight clothing. Press firmly in place for 10 seconds. The patch is worn for 7 days. DO NOT APPLY THIS MEDICINE to skin that is irritated or broken or over other topical products such as make-up, creams, lotions, or powders. DO NOT APPLY THIS MEDICINE TO THE SAME SKIN SITE. Use a different site each week. After 7 days, remove the old patch and apply a new patch. Repeat this weekly cycle for 3 weeks (3 patches over 3 weeks equal 1 cycle). After the third patch is removed, you will have one week without using the patch. Your menstrual cycle (period) usually should start during the week when you do not use the patch.
