What to do if the Evra patch has peeled off at the pool?
Hello, yesterday (Friday) I applied the second Evra patch from the package. However, today (Saturday) I was at the pool and the plaster came off... Now it's glued to my body at home, but I don't know whether to replace it with a new one or leave it? Now the second question, if I were to replace it with a new one, should I take a 7-day break or stick another patch right away? Help is my first, situation 😔

Yes, you can apply a new patch in this case. If the contraceptive patch has come off and the re-application may not be complete, it is recommended that a new patch be applied immediately.
If you pasted a new patch on Saturday, you should peel it off after 6 days - on Friday, so that the "Patch Change Day" remains the same and the cycle of wearing the patches lasts 3 weeks. Then take a 7-day break for bleeding and then start a new pack, then the protection is maintained and there is no need to use an additional contraceptive method in the form of a condom.
The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:
