AP: Birth-control patch label warns of clot risk
The risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs may be higher for women using the birth-control patch instead of the pill, according to a warning on the product's label disclosed Wednesday.
The Food and Drug Administration said it updated the label on the Ortho Evra birth-control patch to reflect the results of one study that found women using the patch faced twice the risk of clots than did women on the pill.
