When Should Xulane Birth Control Patch Be Changed?
Hi, I'm currently using the Xulane birth control patch and during the first week, the patch fell off and became unsticky so I applied a new one within 24 hours. When do I change this patch though? If my other one had stayed on it would have been tomorrow, Saturday the 4th, but I had to apply a new one on Wednesday. Do I put a new one on tomorrow, on Wednesday, or the following Saturday?

Hi,
It has to be replaced after one week.
In your cause it is safe to reapply on Wednesday.
