Smoking Cessation
| Size: 7 |
It is most suitable for you if you are a regular smoker who smokes throughout the day.
How does it work?The NICORETTE® Patch helps you to quit by delivering a continuous, controlled dose of nicotine into your body to help relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The nicotine is released through your skin over 16 hours. It is absorbed quite slowly compared to smoking a cigarette so you should be prepared to wait a little while longer for the nicotine to get into your system.
How do I use the NICORETTE® Patch?For your NICORETTE® Patch to work it is important that you use it properly, so make sure that you read through all the instructions carefully.
Do:
- Apply one fresh NICORETTE® Patch first thing every morning
- Remove the Patch before going to bed and dispose of it safely
- Apply the Patch to a clean, dry, hairless area of skin on the front or side of your chest, upper arm or hip.
Don't:
- Apply the Patch to the same spot of skin two days running
- Use the Patch on broken or inflamed skin
- Smoke while you are wearing the Patch.
