Birth Control Patch (Transdermal Contraceptive Patch)

Thumbnail image for "Birth Control Patch (Transdermal Contraceptive Patch)"

This is a prescription medicated patch that you wear on your skin. It releases hormones that keep you from becoming pregnant. Many women prefer the patch to birth control pills, because with the patch, you don't have to remember to take a pill every day.
