I have been using Evra patches for 2 days. From the first day of use, I experienced general weakness of the body, nausea, I am still cold and I have goosebumps, sometimes it turns white in front of my eyes, I am very sleepy during the day, despite sleeping through the night. Are such symptoms normal? After how many days to discontinue the patches if the symptoms do not go away?

When using Evra patches, side effects such as general malaise, fatigue may occur. However, there is also a possibility that the start of contraception coincided, for example, with the time of the onset of infection. In the event that the described symptoms do not disappear, I encourage you to consult a doctor who will help assess whether they are the result of using contraception or have another cause. If you associate your symptoms with evra, I encourage you to report the side effects of the medicine. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane You can stop using Evra patches at any time. I encourage you to use an additional contraceptive method at least 7 days before the end of the treatment in order to maintain contraceptive protection: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28646/evra-system-transdermalny/ulotka/107008 We wrote about how to use contraception correctly in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje
