Description
Nicotinell Patches deliver a controlled, 24-hour release of nicotine through the skin, providing a steady level of support to help you manage cravings throughout the day. Each patch is designed to be discreet, convenient, and suitable for use as part of a structured quit-smoking program.
Includes 7 transdermal patches (one-week supply).
Directions
Remove the patch from its packet and peel off the protective backing.
Apply immediately to clean, dry, hair-free skin with no lotions, creams, sunscreen, or insect repellent. Suitable areas include the upper arm, chest, abdomen, or hip.
Press firmly with the palm of your hand for 10–20 seconds, then run your fingers along the edges to ensure good adhesion.
Do not lift the patch to check if it has stuck, as this may weaken the seal.
After 24 hours, remove the patch and apply a new one to a different skin site.
Do not reuse the same skin area for at least seven days.
Nicotinell Patches can be used as part of a gradual step-down quitting plan. Refer to the enclosed leaflet for full usage guidance.
