Product Information
Full details
The Nicotinell Patch - 21mg - Step 1 is designed for adult smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day and are looking to quit. Its key benefit is providing a 24-hour supply of nicotine to help manage intense morning cravings and common withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, frustration, restlessness, irritability, and cravings, clinically proven to double quitting success rates compared to willpower alone. A caveat is that it requires willpower and is intended as a stop smoking aid, not a complete solution without personal effort. This product is part of the broader Nicotinell range, offering a transdermal patch system.

FAQs
How long should I use the Nicotinell 21mg patch?
The 21mg patch (Step 1) is typically used for the first 6-12 weeks of a quit program. It's part of a gradual reduction plan. Consult the product leaflet or a healthcare professional for a personalized schedule, which usually involves stepping down to lower strengths (e.g., 14mg, 7mg) over time.
Can I smoke while using the Nicotinell patch?
It is strongly advised not to smoke while using the Nicotinell patch. Smoking in addition to wearing the patch can lead to excessive nicotine levels, potentially causing side effects.
What should I do if the patch falls off?
If the patch falls off, try to reapply it to a new, clean, dry area of skin. If it cannot be re-adhered or if it's been off for a significant time, apply a new patch for the remainder of the 24-hour period and resume the normal schedule the next day.
How do I dispose of a used patch?
Fold the sticky sides of the used patch together and discard it in a household waste bin, keeping it out of reach of children and pets.
Is this product suitable for everyone who wants to quit smoking?
This Step 1 (21mg) patch is specifically for adults who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day. Those who smoke fewer cigarettes or are looking for alternatives should consider other strengths or Nicotinell product forms. Always read the label and consult a healthcare professional.
What other Nicotinell products are available?
The Nicotinell range includes medicated chewing gum, compressed lozenges, Rapid Relief oromucosal spray, and other strengths of TTS patches (e.g., 14mg, 7mg).
Troubleshooting
Patch does not adhere properly
Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free from lotions or oils. Press firmly for 10 seconds. Avoid applying to areas that crease or are subject to friction. Try a different application site.
Skin irritation at the application site
Gently clean the area with soap and water. Rotate the application site daily. If irritation persists or is severe, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms despite using the patch
Ensure the patch is applied correctly and is within its 24-hour effective period. If symptoms are severe, consult a healthcare professional, as you may need a different strength or combination therapy.
Experiencing dizziness or nausea
This may indicate too much nicotine. Ensure you are not smoking while using the patch. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional. You might need a lower strength patch.
