In the event of partial or complete detachment of the patch, insufficient delivery of the active substances occurs. If the patch has been removed for less than 24 hours, apply it to the same place as soon as possible or apply a new patch. There is no need to use an additional method of contraception.
If the patch has been removed for more than 24 hours, the woman may not be protected against pregnancy. Stop your current cycle of contraceptive use and start a new cycle immediately with a new patch. So there is a new "Day 1" and a new "Patch Change Day". It is necessary to use a non-hormonal method of contraception during the first 7 days of the new cycle.
