Actually, the problem with the patch is that the hormones are given directly into the bloodstream, unlike the pill, where they must be digested first, and lose a bit of their potency.
Also, with the pill, it's a once a day big shot of hormones, whereas the patch gives the same high amount of hormones all day long.
