Attorneys and Counsellors at Law
Approved by the FDA in 2001, Ortho Evra was the first contraceptive patch available for use in the United States. Since then, more than 4 million women have used the patch as their preferred method of birth control.
Ortho Evra Side Effects
Unfortunately, a number of patients have reported serious side effects associated with patch use, including fatal strokes and heart attacks. According to consumer reports to the FDA, it is estimated that 23 deaths and dozens of other nonfatal blood clots and strokes are linked to Ortho Evra use. Contact our lawyers in the Boston , Massachusetts and Washington , D.C. , area if you have experienced dangerous side effects after using Ortho Evra. Our lawyers may be able to help you seek entitled compensation.
Ortho Evra Lawsuits
The Ortho Evra warning label has recently undergone a revision to warn patients that it exposes them to higher levels of estrogen than the pill because the hormones are released directly into the bloodstream via the patch. A number of lawsuits have since been filed against the makers of Ortho Evra, Johnson & Johnson's Ortho-McNeill, claiming that the manufacturers knew of the risks associated with the patch and failed to properly warn patients. If you or a loved one has suffered adverse health effects such as blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or death following Ortho Evra use, contact our lawyers in the Washington , D.C., and Boston , Massachusetts area. Our Ortho Evra lawyers can review your claim and determine if you have a valid lawsuit.
