Description
NiQuitin Clear is a clear, 24-hour patch used in smoking cessation and acts as a temporary aid to help with smoking cessation. NiQuitin Clear contains nicotine that is absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, which relieves the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that easily occur when you quit smoking. The nicotine patch should be applied to the skin 1 time a day.
The strength of 21 mg, step 1, is intended for those who have smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day and should be used during the first 6 weeks of smoking cessation. Then you replace the nicotine patch with a lower strength.
For optimal results, treatment with NiQuitin Clear should be done according to a dosing schedule and used for a period of 8-10 weeks.
It is important that you quit smoking altogether when you quit smoking using NiQuitin Clear patches. In some cases, it may be easier to use other nicotine replacement products in combination with NiQuitin Clear transdermal patches, such as 2 mg lozenges or chewing gum, to help resist a sudden urge to smoke. If possible, NiQuitin Clear should be used as part of a smoking cessation program.
Keep in mind that nicotine replacement products can affect the effect of other medicines, so read the package leaflet carefully. If you are using insulin, have heart problems or have high blood pressure, you should consult your doctor before starting your treatment with NiQuitin Clear patches.
Active ingredient: 114 mg nicotine. Other ingredients: Ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethyl terephthalate, polyethylene film, polyisobutylene and white ink (titanium dioxide, E171).
