How do I take Combipatch?

This patch is typically applied to a clean, dry area of the lower stomach. You may need to hold the patch in place for about 10 seconds to ensure that it doesn’t fall off. If it does fall off, reapply it to a different area. Your doctor should give you a dosing schedule when writing your prescription; most women who use this medication are instructed to replace the patch every 3 to 4 days. When changing patches, you should apply the new patch to a different area and avoid applying a patch to the recently covered area for at least a week.

What if I forget to take a dose of Combipatch?

If you forget to change your patch when you are supposed to, replace it as soon as you remember. Never place more than one patch on your skin in an effort to catch up on a missed dose.

What happens if I overdose on Combipatch?

If an overdose is suspected while wearing a medication patch, remove the patch and contact poison control at 1-800-222-1222. If you or someone in your household has swallowed a patch, call 911 and seek emergency medical attention.

Warnings

You should not smoke or use tobacco products while on Combipatch, as the combination of estrogen and tobacco products increase your risk of high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. In very rare cases, Combipatch may cause blood clots. Tell your doctor if you will be confined to a sitting or standing position for a long time (e.g. while traveling), and seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest, jaw, or left arm pain; weakness on one side of the body; tingling or numbness in your limbs; sudden vision changes; difficulty breathing; sudden dizziness; or coughing up blood. This medication can also sometimes cause dark, discolored areas of skin on the face. To reduce the risk of discoloration, avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear protective clothing or sunscreen when you do need to be outside.
