The birth control patch is used for preventing pregnancy in females who are of reproductive age (have started their menstrual periods). It works by stopping ovulation, changing the lining of the uterus, and altering the cervical mucus. On occasion a healthcare provider may prescribe the birth control patch off-label for other uses. Some of these off-label birth control patch uses include treating acne, PMDD, and heavy menstrual bleeding.
