Contraceptive Patch Maker Janssen-Ortho Inc. in Class Action Danger
A class action lawsuit has been launched against Janssen-Ortho Inc., the makers of a contraceptive skin patch Ortho Evra.
The lawsuit alleges that doctors and patients were not adequately warned that Ortho Evra has been associated with an increased risk of developing blood clots, pulmonary emboli, strokes, heart attacks and deep vein thrombosis.
Ortho Evra was first approved for marketing and sale in Canada as a contraceptive patch in 2002.
In March, Health Canada said it is currently reviewing the results of two studies that looked at the risk of serious side effects when using Ortho Evra.
