WHAT NIQUITIN TRANSDERMAL PATCH
IS USED FOR
Nicotine patches are indicated as an
aid to stop smoking, by treatment of
tobacco dependence through the
relief of nicotine withdrawal
symptoms including cravings.
Nicotine patches should preferably
be used in conjunction with a
behavioural support programme as
this normally improves the success
rate. Nicotine patches may be used
in combination with other forms of
NRT where appropriate. Permanent
cessation of tobacco use is the
eventual objective.
HOW NIQUITIN TRANSDERMAL PATCH
WORKS
Nicotine transdermal patch is a
transdermal delivery system acting as
nicotine replacement therapy in
smoking cessation. It acts
temporarily to replace much of the
nicotine from cigarettes to reduce
motivation to smoke and reduce
nicotine withdrawal symptoms
including nicotine craving associated
with quitting, and thus easing the
transition from cigarette smoking to
complete abstinence. Following
transdermal application, the skin
rapidly absorbs nicotine released
initially from the patch adhesive.
