Five More Ortho Evra Lawsuits Filed

December 5, 2005

Five more Ortho Evra lawsuits have been filed, bringing the total to 17 since November 10. The lawsuits claim that Ortho Evra users have suffered strokes, heart attacks and even death as a result of blood clotting caused by high estrogen levels. Many of the victims are in their teens and 20s.

A 23-year-old woman suffered a massive blockage of the right pulmonary artery in May 2004 and was forced to undergo two heart surgeries. She had only used Ortho Evra for nine months. In another case, a 32-year-old used the patch for 11 months before dying last July after suffering from clots in her right and left pulmonary arteries.

Since the warning from the FDA in November, the number of Ortho Evra lawsuits has continued to rise and shows no signs of slowing down.
