Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Birth Control |
| Dosage & duration: | | 1 PATCH CHANGED WEEKLY (dosage frequency: 3 1/2 years) for the period of 3 and half years |
| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | none | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | This was a the easiest birth control that I have ever used, I like the idea of worring about it only once a week |
| Side effects: | | Two months after I started the patch I began to have really dark colored urine. I assumed that this was a side affect to the patch. I went to my doctor who saud that is was not related, but now it has been 3 years since I stopped the patch, and now have kidney disease. Maybe just coincidence, But in my heart I feel it was the patch. |
| Comments: | | 1 PATCH CHANGED WEEKLY |
