Nicotex 21mg Transdermal Patch

Overview Nicotex 21mg Transdermal Patch

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), via the 21mg Nicotex transdermal patch, aids smoking cessation. This skin patch delivers a controlled, daily dose of nicotine, gradually decreasing over 12 weeks. This approach aims to eliminate cigarette dependence by steadily reducing nicotine intake. The patch offers 24-hour release for consistent nicotine delivery.* *Source: Müller P, Abelin T, et al.

How to Use Nicotex 21mg Transdermal Patch:

Replace with a fresh patch every 24 hours, rotating application sites. Always wash your hands afterwards. Consult the accompanying instructions before use.
