NiQuitin Clear Patch 21mg - 7 Patches - Step 1
NiQuitin Clear Patch 21mg is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to assist individuals in quitting smoking by gradually reducing their nicotine dependence. It delivers a controlled release of nicotine over 24 hours, helping to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
How NiQuitin Patches Work
NiQuitin patches release a steady, measured dose of nicotine through the skin and into the bloodstream. This controlled nicotine delivery helps alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, and strong cravings. The NiQuitin Clear Patch 21mg is typically the first step in a structured quitting plan, gradually reducing nicotine intake until cessation is achieved.
Who Can Use NiQuitin Clear Patch 21mg
NiQuitin Clear Patch 21mg is intended for smokers who consume more than 10 cigarettes per day. It is the highest-strength patch in the NiQuitin patches range and serves as the initial phase of nicotine replacement therapy.
