What is being done to inform women of the risks of using Ortho Evra?
In 2008, the FDA ordered Johnson & Johnson , the maker of Ortho Evra, to issue a warning label to accompany Ortho Evra that details the risks related to the drug after further analysis of data related to injuries and deaths alleged to be caused by use of Ortho Evra. Public organizations are warning women not to use the Ortho Evra birth control patch, including consumer watchdog group Public Citizen, which says that there is no reason to choose Ortho Evra over older, better understood, and equally effective oral contraceptives.
