The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned late Thursday that Johnson & Johnson's Ortho Evra contraceptive patch delivers higher levels of a hormone known to cause blood clots than average birth control pills. However, the FDA is unsure whether women using the once-a-week patch were more at risk for clots or strokes than women taking birth control pills.
