The benefits of using Birth Control patches, over pills, are that it only needs applying once a week and when usage is stopped, one can generally quickly become pregnant. Other benefits are better protection against anaemia and certain forms of cancer.

There are no known drug interactions between Nyquil and the birth control pill.I've taken NyQuil and dayquil with velivet birth control and some times I do fine while other times I get a bit nauseous.

Is the Nuva ring a good birth control choice if you're switching from the patch because it is irritating your skin and itching?
I don't know how much hormone is in the patch, but I assume it's more than the Nuvaring. This is really a question for your gynecologist, because he/she'd know more, but if the Nuvaring will work for you after the patch, then by all means do it. It worked for me for a bit, and it was easy and convenient. I highly recommend it.
