Product introduction

Nicosip 21mg Patch can be used to help you stop smoking completely or cut down the amount you smoke. Giving up smoking is hard and you need to be ready and committed. But quitting it is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and live longer. Follow the instructions in the packet to make sure you use them correctly. Normally one patch is used daily and a program of use could last up to 8 to 10 weeks, gradually reducing the strength of the patches. By quitting smoking you are reducing your risk of lung disease, cancer, and heart disease. You are more likely to be successful if you also have counseling, join a support group, and make some behavior changes such as avoiding situations you associate with smoking.

Some of the common side effects include agitation, anxiety, headache, dizziness, and nausea. These effects are often mild and will wear off naturally and quickly when you remove the patch. You may get mild itching or burning around the site of the patch, but this is not usually serious. You may also get cravings after you have stopped using the patches as nicotine is extremely addictive. Use the patches again rather than go back to smoking. Nicotine therapy is always better than continuing to smoke.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking this medicine. This medicine is not approved for use by anyone under 18 years old. Do not start using them if you are a non-smoker.

Benefits of Nicosip Patch

Quitting smoking
Tobacco contains the substance nicotine which is extremely addictive. Nicotine patches are a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). They contain nicotine but not the other toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke such as tar and carbon monoxide. These patches may be used to help you quit smoking and reduce the unpleasant withdrawal effects and cravings that often occur when you stop smoking. The patches release nicotine slowly and continuously over a period of time. Many people also use other NRT products to reduce sudden cravings. This medicine has worked very well for many years to help people stop smoking and is even more effective if you have other support such as counseling. This treatment may take several weeks to work so you need to continue until you have been successful. Quitting smoking is extremely hard and requires you to change your behaviors but it has a huge range of health benefits and dramatically improves your quality of life.

  • Put the patch on a hairless site of the body, usually on the upper arm.
  • Change the site each day to avoid any risk of skin irritation or rashes.
  • Wait for at least one week to apply the patch at the same application site.
