How do I switch from the pill to the patch? Does the patch affect my libido? What if I can take the patch continuously?

Good morning, Mrs,

Yes, it is possible to wear the patch continuously. For the change from the pill to the patch, it depends on the pill you are taking. If your contraceptive pill is changed to the patch, your pharmacist will be able to tell you how to make the transition while maintaining the contraceptive effectiveness.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
