WASHINGTON - Risks of blood clots in legs and lungs are twice as high for women using the birth-control patch instead of the pill, says a study reported by the drug maker and the
Food and Drug Administration.

"For some people the patch may be better because some people don't reliably take the pill, or don't want to take the pill or forget the pill," Daniel Shames, MD said. "So the patch does offer them some alternative for contraception...These are fairly unusual events," said Shames. He noted that in preapproval testing of the patch on about 3,000 women there were two reports of blood clots, but one involved a woman who had had surgery.

Health officials warn that women who smoke should not use the patch, since smoking increases the risk of stroke and heart attack.

"A new study shows that women using the Ortho Evra birth-control patch have double the risk of developing blood clots compared with those who take the birth-control pill, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday. But the agency called the results preliminary and said they did not require immediate action other than advising women to discuss the risk with their doctors. The finding comes from one of two studies comparing the patch and the pill, said Ortho Women's Health and Urology, maker of the once-a-week patch. The company, based in Raritan, N.J., is owned by Johnson & Johnson." (Read Article)
