The Nicorette® Patch was developed to provide a simple and discreet method of delivering a controlled dose of nicotine and is available in three strengths (15mg, 10mg & 5mg). People should start on the 15mg patch and then gradually reduce their intake of nicotine by following the step-down reduction programme. Treatment should begin with Nicorette® Patch 15 mg (30 cm 2 ), administered as one patch applied to the skin upon waking and removed at bedtime (approximately 16 hours). The used patch should be disposed of carefully. The duration of treatment depends on the individual, but should generally continue for 3 months. After the full-dose treatment period, the subject should change

over and start using Nicorette® Patch 10 mg (20 cm2) for 2–3 weeks, and finally change over to the lowest-dose 5 mg (10 cm 2 ) patch for the next 2–3 weeks of the ‘tapering off' period. Nicorette® Patch should be applied to a clean, dry non hairy site such as the upper arm or hip. The patches should not be applied to broken or inflamed skin. The entire range of Nicorette products is available either on prescription or over the counter via pharmacies all over South Africa. Click here to read more...
