Is the birth control patch safe?

I’ve heard about people getting rashes and stuff, but it seems like a cool idea. Would doctors really prescribe it if it wasn’t safe?

Answer #1

Hi,

Though the Food and Drug Administration and patch-maker Ortho McNeil saw warning signs of possible problems with the patch well before it reached the market, both maintain that the patch is as safe as the pill.

However, the reports obtained by the AP appear to indicate that in 2004 — when 800,000 women were on the patch — the risk of dying or suffering a survivable blood clot while using the device was about three times higher than while using birth control pills.

I will not be using it.
