What is the Evra patch?
Evra is a combined hormonal contraceptive in patch form. Each patch contains two hormones, norelgestromin and ethinylestradiol, which pass through the skin into the bloodstream at a steady rate rather than arriving as a daily dose.
You wear one patch for seven days, replace it on the same day of the week for three weeks, then go one week with no patch. Your withdrawal bleed usually comes during that fourth week.
It is a prescription-only medicine in Malaysia, so a doctor assesses whether it suits you before it can be dispensed. Like other combined hormonal contraception, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Your patch week, and the one week off
You pick a day of the week, and that becomes your change day for as long as you use the patch. Here it is Monday.
Put on the first patch on Monday. Take it off and put on a fresh one the next Monday, and again the Monday after that. That is three patches over three weeks.
Week four is patch-free. Your withdrawal bleed usually comes during this week. On the following Monday, start a new box, even if you are still bleeding.
The day never moves, so one weekly reminder covers the whole routine.
Where to apply the Evra patch
Never on the breasts
Tap a highlighted area to see its name.
- Choose clean, dry, healthy skin with no lotion, oil, powder or make-up on it.
- Peel off the backing and press the patch down firmly with your palm for about 10 seconds, making sure the edges stick.
- Use a different spot each week to reduce irritation. Do not put a new patch on exactly the same place as the last one.
- Do not cut, trim, write on or decorate a patch.
- It is made to stay on in the shower, in the pool and during exercise. Check the edges each day out of habit.
If a patch comes off, or you are late changing it
Partly lifted, for less than a day
Try to press it back on. If it will not stick properly, put on a new patch straight away. Keep the same change day.
Off for more than a day, or you are not sure how long
You may not be protected. Start a new cycle with a new patch, which gives you a new change day, use condoms, and check with a doctor or pharmacist the same day.
Late changing a patch mid-cycle
What to do depends on how late you are. Do not guess. Check the leaflet and speak to a doctor or pharmacist the same day.
Late starting after the patch-free week
This one matters most, because the time without hormones has been stretched. Put on a new patch as soon as you remember, use condoms, and speak to a doctor.
Skin irritation where a patch sits is common and usually mild. Tell a doctor if it is severe, spreading, or does not settle after you move the site.
Evra patch price in Malaysia
The Evra patch costs RM85 a month at Hello Doktor. One box holds three patches, which with the patch-free week covers 28 days, so the box price is the monthly cost.
| Months | Boxes | Patches | Price | Was | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 3 | RM85 | ||
| 2 | 2 | 6 | RM170 | ||
| 3 | 3 | 9 | RM255 | ||
| 6 | 6 | 18 | RM510 |
Price is for the medicine. The doctor consultation is RM1.
The patch costs more per month than most daily pills. Whether that is worth it depends on whether a weekly routine suits you better, which is worth discussing with a doctor.
Who the patch suits, and who should check first
The patch may suit you if
- You would rather deal with contraception once a week than every day
- You travel or work shifts, so a fixed daily time is hard
- You have trouble swallowing tablets
- You and your doctor have agreed combined hormonal contraception is right for you
Tell your doctor before starting Evra if you
- Have had a blood clot in a leg or lung, a stroke or a heart attack
- Have a known clotting disorder, or a close family member who had a clot young
- Smoke and are over 35
- Get migraine with aura
- Have high blood pressure, diabetes with complications, or liver problems
- Have had breast cancer
- Have a skin condition, allergy or sensitivity where the patch would sit
- Take medicines that can make it work less well, such as some epilepsy, HIV or tuberculosis medicines, or St John's wort
- Are pregnant, think you might be, or have given birth in the last 6 weeks
A note on body weight
The product information for Evra says the patch may be less effective in women who weigh 90kg or more.
If that applies to you, raise it at your consultation. The doctor can advise whether the patch is still a good choice or whether another method fits you better.
Evra patch safety and side effects
Blood clot risk
All combined hormonal contraception carries some risk of blood clots. With a patch, the hormones are absorbed through the skin rather than the gut, and regulators have noted that this can mean higher oestrogen levels in the body than with some combined pills, so the clot risk may be higher. For most people the risk stays low, but it is not zero, and it is higher than with methods that contain no oestrogen. A doctor weighs this against your own history before prescribing.

- Skin reaction where the patch sits
- Headache
- Breast tenderness
- Nausea
- Mood changes
- Spotting between periods in the first few months
Most of these settle within the first three months.
Get medical help the same day if you have
- Pain or swelling in one leg
- Sudden breathlessness or chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- A sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side, or trouble speaking
- Sudden loss of vision
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes
Report side effects to your doctor or through the NPRA ConSERF reporting system.

Evra patch questions, answered
About the patch
The Evra patch is used to prevent pregnancy. It is a combined hormonal contraceptive, so it contains a progestogen and an oestrogen, but you wear it on your skin and change it weekly instead of taking a daily tablet. In Malaysia it needs a doctor's prescription.
The patch releases hormones through your skin into your bloodstream at a steady rate. They stop an egg being released each month and thicken the mucus at the neck of the womb, which makes it harder for sperm to get through. The effect lasts as long as you follow the weekly routine.
Price and getting it
The Evra patch costs RM85 a month at Hello Doktor, for one box of three patches that covers 28 days. More months multiply that price, for example RM255 for three months. The doctor consultation is RM1.
Yes. Evra is a prescription-only medicine, so a doctor must assess you before it can be dispensed. You can speak with one of our licensed doctors online for RM1. If the patch is not right for you, the doctor can suggest another method.
Using it
Safety and stopping
For most people who are suitable for combined hormonal contraception, yes, but it is not risk-free. Like the combined pill, it carries a small risk of blood clots, and this may be higher with a patch. A doctor checks your history before prescribing so the choice fits you.
