Xulane patch reviews
0 reviews
The patch is a combined hormonal contraceptive method containing both estrogen and progestin. It is a thin beige plaster, made of three layers of plastic, which is stuck to the skin and changed weekly. It's a great option if you want the benefits of the combined pill, but don't want to have to remember to take a pill every day. The risk of blood clots with the patch may be slightly higher when compared to other combined methods and it is not always suitable if you weigh more then 198lbs (90kg).
