Evorel Conti

Once you start using Evorel Conti, you need to keep a patch on you at all times. You wear 2 patches every week. Please see the patient information leaflet for information on opening and applying the patches.

Tips for using the patches:

• Avoid touching the sticky part of the patch while putting it on

• Don’t apply patches to the same area of skin - switch the area around your hips and upper thighs

• Don’t apply the patches near your breasts

• Keep your patch on when bathing

• If a patch falls off, replace it, but also replace it again during the week when you would normally

If you forget to change your patch, do it as soon as possible, or wait until the next patch if it’s close to switching time

Stop using your patch and contact a doctor immediately if:

• You notice your skin or eyes turning yellow

• You get headaches you wouldn’t normally get

• You notice a rise in blood pressure or high blood pressure symptoms

• You get symptoms of allergic reaction

• You get signs of a blood clot

• You think you might be pregnant

Please:

• Check for unusual vaginal bleeding

• Check for changes to your breasts

• Attend regular smear tests and mammograms

• Review you treatment regularly with your GP
