Hello,
The Evra patch is a highly effective birth control patch containing estrogen and progesterone.
If it is being started newly, it is possible to get such spotting and altered cycles for initial 1-2 months; if persists later, have to consult your OBGY for further guidance of hormone imbalance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
