If you smoke under 20 cigarettes per day:
Stop smoking and start with Nicotinell Patch Step 2 (14 mg) for 6-8 weeks.
If you are stepping down from Nicotinell Step 1:
Move to Nicotinell Patch Step 2 (14 mg) for 3-4 weeks.
1. Take the patch out of the packet and remove any additional protection from the patch.
2. Apply the patch to a washed, cleaned area of hairless and dry skin. The upper arm, chest, abdomen, or hip are good spots.
3. Press the patch down firmly for 10-20 seconds. DO NOT check if it has stuck by lifting the edge. Apply a new patch after 24 hours on a new area.
Nicotinell patches can be combined with Nicotinell Gum or Lozenges for enhanced craving control. Use as directed for a maximum of 12 weeks.
