When I stick the Evra patch for the first time, can symptoms such as skin irritation, abdominal pain and malaise occur?

According to the summary of product characteristics: "If the application of the patch causes skin irritation, a new patch may be applied elsewhere until the next "Patch Change Day". You can only have one patch applied at a time." It should be remembered that the skin at the place of application of the patch must be clean, dry and without any applied cosmetics. If the patch has been peeled off for more than 24 hours, then the effectiveness of contraception may be reduced and additional protection (e.g. condom) should be used. The side effects described, such as abdominal pain or general malaise, may result from the use of Evra and are side effects that occur frequently. These types of symptoms are particularly annoying during the first cycles of using hormonal contraception, but if they persist, you should consult a gynecologist. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28646/evra-system-transdermalny/ulotka/107008
