1. WHAT NIQUITIN CLEAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
NiQuitin Clear are SKIN PATCHES THAT DELIVER NICOTINE TO HELP PEOPLE
STOP SMOKING. This type of
treatment is called Nicotine Replacement Therapy (or NRT for short).
NiQuitin Clear patches come in
three strengths: 21mg, 14mg and 7mg/24hrs. People wanting to quit
smoking START ON A STRONGER
PATCH AND GRADUALLY SWITCH TO WEAKER ONES (SEE SECTION 3: HOW TO USE
NIQUITIN CLEAR). Each
strength comes in its own pack.
It is the nicotine in cigarettes that can make you addicted to them.
NiQuitin Clear helps you give up
smoking by replacing some of the nicotine you get from cigarettes.
Each patch slowly releases
nicotine into the body. This relieves some of the unpleasant symptoms
that smokers may get when
they try to quit, relieves cravings for a cigarette, and helps to
resist the urge to smoke.
NiQuitin Clear PATCHES MAY BE USED together with any oral NiQuitin
(lozenge, mini lozenge or gum)
if you have relapsed after trying to quit with NRT, wh
