As said, you can ask your pharmacist and they can tell you. Be sure to also ask if there are any things that can inadvertantly lessen the effectiveness of your particular birth control. I went to see my Dr. for a vaginal infection, got a prescription, went to pharmacy and it was the pharmacist who said, "Our records show that you take the pill. Taking this medication will lessen the affect of the pill, so if having sex until you finish the medication and so many days after, you will need to use condoms for added protection. So sometimes Drs can forget and fail to mention very important info. like this. Just call and ask your Dr. or pharmacist. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

I would suggest you do one of the following.
1. Talk with the pharmacist who dispensed the medication to you. There is information available to them that may allow them to answer the question.
2. The package the patches come in have the maker's name and the trade name for the medication. You could go on the web with this information by typing in either the trade name of the patch or going to the manufacturer's website to find that information.
