Nicorette Patches 25mg 7 Pcs

Description

Medication name: Nicorette Patches 25 mg contain Nicotine (25 mg per patch) and are designed to help people quit smoking by providing a steady dose of nicotine throughout the day.

Each pack contains 7 transdermal patches for once-daily use.

Drug class: Smoking cessation aid / Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)

Use: Nicorette Patches are used as part of a step-down program to stop smoking.

They help reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating when quitting smoking.

How it works: The patch delivers nicotine continuously through the skin into the bloodstream, providing a consistent level that helps replace nicotine from cigarettes.

This allows smokers to gradually reduce their dependence on nicotine over time.

Dosage and administration:

• Apply one patch daily to clean, dry, hairless skin on the upper arm, chest, or back.

• The patch should be worn for 16 to 24 hours, depending on tolerance.

• Replace with a new patch every day, rotating the application site to avoid skin irritation.

• The 25 mg patch is typically used for the first 8 weeks, followed by lower doses (15 mg and 10 mg) as part of a gradual reduction plan.

Side effects: Common side effects include skin irritation, itching, redness, headache, nausea, dizziness, and sleep disturbances (such as vivid dreams). These are usually mild and temporary.

Precautions:

• Not suitable for non-smokers or children under 18 years.

• Use with caution in patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, or skin conditions.

• Do not smoke or use other nicotine products while wearing the patch.

• Consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding before use.

Storage: Store at room temperature (below 25 °C), in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children. Dispose of used patches safely.
