Nicotine Patch

Nicotine Patch Description:

Nicotine Patch is designed to help people quit smoking using the principle of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It’s a transdermal patch, meaning it delivers a specific amount of nicotine through the skin and into the bloodstream, once applied. By replacing some of the nicotine to which your body has become accustomed from smoking or using tobacco, the patch helps to reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

Besides, it also helps you to concentrate on the psychological aspects of quitting and to change the habit that ‘triggers’ your nicotine cravings. This therapy takes 12 weeks of total duration in which a Drop-Down Dosing method is to be followed, which allows you to gradually reduce your nicotine level by moving to a lower dose in three steps.

FAQs:

How does Nicotine Transdermal Patch work?
Nicotine Transdermal Patch contains Nicotine that acts as a smoking cessation aid. It helps quit nicotine (tobacco) use by slowly adjusting the body to have less craving to use nicotine.

What should I know before applying a nicotine patch?
Always choose a hair-less skin area to make the patch stick properly to the skin surface. Do not apply the patch on red, broken or irritated skin. If the patch doesn’t stick to the selected skin area, try using an alternative area or clean the skin surface with surgical spirit and allow it to dry completely before re-applying the patch. Avoid areas where the skin creases or folds (such as joints) for application.

Can I apply two patches at a time for improved performance?
Please do not use more than one transdermal patch at a time since it may lead to a build-up of nicotine levels in the body.

Can I smoke while using the transdermal patch?
You are recommended not to smoke even if you feel the urge to smoke while using the patch, as it may lead to the accumulation of nicotine at high levels.
