Nicotex 7mg Transdermal Patch

Overview Nicotex 7mg Transdermal Patch

The Nicotex 7mg patch, a transdermal nicotine delivery system, aids smoking cessation via Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). Applied to the skin, it provides a controlled, all-day release of nicotine. A twelve-week regimen progressively lowers nicotine exposure, ultimately enabling a smoke-free existence. Its 24-hour delivery mechanism ensures consistent nicotine supply.* *Based on research by Müller P, Abelin T, et al. on transdermal nicotine for smoking cessation (Lung, 1990;168:445-453).
