well i don't think it was recalled but there are a lot of bad remarks about it. its very dangerous. i used it for like 2 months or so i kept gettin a rash from where it was and it made the area it was attached to bleed. not cool. as best birth control that very depends on the person. i have been on alesse. i love it. nice low dose and all. but now they put me on ortho tri cyclen lo i'm worried about takin that one though.

No, my sister just saw her gyno for refills. She uses the patch, and she's been informed that all this stuff abot clots and such is blown out of proportion by the media and by money-grubbing attorneys taking advantage of a "scare".
All hormonal birth control methods carry an equal risk. The patch is slightly higher because women tend not to forget to use it, unlike the pill, which means that there's a slight higher amt of hormone, and so there's a parallel increase in the risk of clots. Anyone who smokes or has heart problems should avoid using the Pill, the Patch, or injections.

My lady used the patch for some years... Tuesday night extremely of Wednesday is effective. do no longer complication approximately it! some human beings be very prejudiced and yet be very diffused. a individual utilising beginning administration isn't a newborn hater yet is purely being responsible. some human beings desire to throw of their non secular and non-biblical evaluations.

I don't know about a recall...but lawyers are starting to advertise
for clients who used the patch and suffered various side
effects. Usually that means big trouble somewhere.
