The contraceptive patch is a combined form of hormonal contraception, containing oestrogen and progestogen hormones. It is essentially the same type of contraception as the combined oral contraceptive pill ... but as a patch instead of ... pills. The contraceptive patch is stuck on to the skin so that the two hormones are continuously delivered to the body, giving contraceptive cover.
