                    [Summary] => Janssen Pharmaceutical, a division of Johnson & Johnson,   introduced yesterday  the first transdermal contraceptive patch for Filipino women.


EVRA (norelgestromin/ethinyl estradiol) transdermal skin patch is the first contraceptive patch that is applied directly to the skin and provides protection for a period of one week.


It provides hormones through the skin into the bloodstream which then prevents pregnancy by suppressing ovulation.


Because of it is so thin, EVRA can be worn unnoticed under clothing.
