WHAT TO EXPECT
What Happens at a Prevention Patch Appointment?
Your Evra patch consultation focuses on making sure the contraceptive patch is medically appropriate for you before you start.
01
We review your health history
Before starting the Evra patch, we’ll discuss your last period, current contraception, and pregnancy risk. We’ll also discuss breastfeeding and your future pregnancy plans.
02
We check your blood pressure
Because the Evra contraceptive patch contains oestrogen, we’ll check your blood pressure and assess whether combined hormonal contraception is suitable.
03
We confirm pregnancy risk and timing
We’ll review your last period, current contraception and pregnancy risk to confirm the safest and most appropriate time to start the Evra patch.
04
We prescribe and supply your Evra patch

SUITABILITY & SAFETY
Is the Evra Contraceptive Patch Right for You?
The Evra patch may suit women who want a weekly contraceptive method instead of remembering a daily pill. Because it contains oestrogen, it is not suitable for everyone.
If you are unsure if the patch is right for you, contact us to speak with our nurse before booking your appointment.
What Can Affect Evra Patch Suitability?
Smoking and age
The Evra patch should not be used by women over 35 who smoke because of the increased cardiovascular risk.
Certain health conditions and medications
Blood clots, migraines, high blood pressure, and some medicines or herbal products may affect whether the Evra patch is suitable for you.
Breastfeeding
The Evra patch is not recommended while breastfeeding, so we’ll discuss a more suitable contraceptive option if you are breastfeeding.
