Recently the FDA disclosed that the excessive levels of estrogen delivered by the birth control patch Ortho Evra can cause serious injuries and even death to the women who use it. Johnson and Johnson is the parent company of the manufacturer of the Ortho Evra patch.
Especially worrisome is the finding that most of about a dozen users who died of clot-related complications in 2004 were young — in their late teens and early 20s.
The AP reported that patch users die and suffer blood clots at a three-times-higher rate than women taking the pill.
The kinds of injuries that can occur include:
Blood Clots
Pulmonary Embolism
Heart Attacks
Stroke
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Death
