Nicosip 21mg Patch helps you to stop smoking by replacing the nicotine in cigarettes. When you quit smoking the lack of nicotine can cause withdrawal symptoms. These patches reduce symptoms such as craving tobacco, irritability, headache, weight gain, and difficulty concentrating.

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.
