'In the event of even partial detachment of the EVRA patch:

- for more than one day (24 hours or more) or if you have not noticed when the patch has come off: you may not be protected against pregnancy. Stop your current cycle of contraceptive use and start a new cycle immediately with a new EVRA 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. "

If you are able to assess this, you should choose the right strategy based on the information provided above. Before applying the next patch, clean and dry the skin thoroughly. It is best to choose a place that will not be constantly exposed to rubbing through clothing.
