NicoretteĀ® patches are a daily way to overcome the urge to smoke. The patches release controlled amounts of nicotine that are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. The patches do not affect your sleep and help you control the urge to smoke for up to 16 hours.
Ready to give up completely? Use a transdermal patch to control the urge to smoke and withdrawal symptoms.

How to use:
As soon as you wake up, apply a new transdermal patch to a clean, dry, hairless patch of skin on your thigh, arm, chest, or hip.
Apply to a portion of new skin every day. After 2-3 days, you can apply to a portion that you have applied before if there are no signs of irritation.
Before going to bed, remove the transdermal patch and dispose of it safely. We recommend starting with the highest concentration and then reducing the concentration over the course of 12 weeks.
Recommendations:
Treatment with patch in combination with NicoretteĀ® Freshfruit/Icemint 2 mg chewable gum or with NicoretteĀ® Freshmint 1mg/spray, oropharyngeal spray solution.
If complete smoking cessation is the ultimate goal, NicoretteĀ® Clear should preferably be used in conjunction with a behavioral support program.
Precautions:
Do not use in people under 18 years of age and non-smokers.
Do not apply the transdermal patch to the same place on the skin two days in a row.
Do not use the transdermal patch on inflamed or injured skin.
Patients should completely quit smoking during treatment with NicoretteĀ® Clear patches.
Before use, read the leaflet of the NicoretteĀ® product you are using with the patch. The leaflet is in each form of packaging.
These drugs contain nicotine and can be dispensed without a prescription. It is recommended to read the leaflet or the information on the package carefully. If unpleasant manifestations occur, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
If you feel that the need for nicotine arises even though you are using nicotine-based drug treatment, you can use NicoretteĀ® Clear patches in combination, with NicoretteĀ® Freshfruit/Icemint 2 mg chewable gum or with Nicorette Freshmint 1mg/spray, oropharyngeal spray solution.
