The convenience of birth control by mail! Here's what you need to know:

What is the birth control patch?

The birth control patch, also known as Ortho Evra, is a type of hormonal birth control that is applied to the skin once a week. It releases a steady dose of estrogen and progestin, which prevents ovulation and prevents pregnancy.

How does the birth control patch work by mail?

Some online pharmacies and healthcare providers offer the birth control patch by mail, also known as mail-order birth control or telemedicine birth control. Here's how it typically works:

1. Online consultation: You fill out an online questionnaire or schedule a video consultation with a healthcare provider to discuss your birth control options.
2. Prescription: If you're eligible, the healthcare provider will prescribe the birth control patch and send you a prescription.
3. Ordering: You place an order for the birth control patch through the online pharmacy or healthcare provider's website.
4. Shipping: The birth control patch is shipped directly to your doorstep.
5. Application: You apply the patch to your skin once a week, as directed.
