Good morning. I use Evra patches, I recently glued 3 slices in the cycle, but I see that it peels off slightly. I am currently on vacation so it is very possible that it is due to frequent contact with water. In 4 days I should peel it off as planned and bleeding should occur. What should I do if the patch peels off earlier? I will also add that I do not have a second pack of patches with me so unfortunately I can not stick a new one now. Thank you for your help

If the Evra patch peels off, I encourage you to use an additional method of contraception (e.g. a condom) until a new patch is applied. If there is such a possibility, I encourage you to consult your local doctor. In order to obtain an e-prescription, you can also use teleadvice through the First Contact Teleplatform launched in Poland (tel. 800 137 200) or, for example, through the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja Below I described the correct procedure in the event of observing the patch peeling off. In the event that the edges of the Evra patch peel off, stick out or the patch begins to adhere loosely, the patch does not show full contraceptive effectiveness. In the event that 24 hours have not passed since the start of peeling off the patch, it is recommended, if possible, to re-glue the patch correctly. In the event that 24 hours have already passed, it is recommended to stick a new patch and start a new 4-week cycle. In addition, it is recommended to use an additional method of contraception for the next 7 first days of the new cycle. If you do not follow the above rules, there is a risk of getting pregnant: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28646/evra-system-transdermalny/apteki I attach additional answers to similar questions: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/54769/evra-co-zrobic-jesli-plaster-antykoncepcyjny-sie-odkleil https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/172/evra-co-zrobic-jesli-plaster-antykoncepcyjny-sie-odkleil
