Nicotine Patch

The patch sticks to your skin like a bandage, to slowly release nicotine to your body.
There are three different strengths of patches. The one you use depends on how much you smoke or chew. Your Health Care Provider can help you choose the right patch.
You usually use the patch for eight to 10 weeks, but it can be used for longer.
You can use the patch with other NRT products (such as gum), as well as some other quit medications.

Apply the patch to a clean, hair-free area on your upper body or upper outer arm. You should apply each patch to a different place on the body.
Remove the backing.
Press the patch onto your skin for 10 seconds.
Wear a patch for 24 hours.
If you are having trouble sleeping, remove the patch at bedtime and put on a new patch in the morning.
Always wash hands before and after handling the patch.
Keep the patch away from children and pets.
