Safety information 7
Contains nicotine — keep away from children & pets
The nicotine in these patches can be harmful to children and pets. Keep out of their sight and reach, both before and after use, and fold used patches in half (sticky sides together) before disposing of them carefully.
Do not smoke while using this product
Do not smoke while using NRT. If you do slip up, NRT is still far safer than smoking, so keep using the patch and carry on with your quit attempt rather than giving up.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to try to stop without medicines, but if NRT helps it is preferable to continuing to smoke. Speak to a midwife, GP or pharmacist first, as patches are often removed at night.
Check with a pharmacist if you have a medical condition
Ask a pharmacist or GP before use if you have recently had a heart attack or stroke, or have unstable angina, an irregular heartbeat, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, phaeochromocytoma, a stomach ulcer, or liver or kidney problems.
Rotate the site to avoid skin irritation
Apply to clean, dry, non-hairy skin and use a different area each day. Don't put a patch on the same spot two days running, and avoid broken, red or irritated skin.
Adults only – not for non-smokers
This product is intended for adult smokers; check the pack for the minimum age. It is not for children or for people who do not smoke.
Remove at night if your sleep is disturbed
As a 24-hour patch it can be worn overnight, but if you notice vivid dreams or trouble sleeping, take it off at bedtime and apply a fresh one in the morning.

Product overview

About Nicotinell TTS 10 7mg patches

Nicotinell TTS 10 is a 24-hour nicotine patch and the lowest strength in the Nicotinell patch range, releasing a steady 7mg of nicotine over a full day. Each pack contains 7 patches – a one-week supply. It is a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help you stop smoking by easing the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that make quitting difficult. As a round-the-clock patch, it delivers a controlled amount of nicotine day and night, helping to keep background cravings under control, including first-thing-in-the-morning urges.

How Nicotinell patches help you stop smoking

When you stop smoking, the sudden drop in nicotine can trigger cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, low mood, disturbed sleep and increased appetite. Nicotinell patches replace some of that nicotine in a controlled, lower dose – but without the tar, carbon monoxide and other harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. By taking the edge off withdrawal, the patch makes it far easier to break the smoking habit and stay smoke-free. NRT will not make quitting effortless, but it significantly improves your chances of success.

Where TTS 10 fits in the step-down programme

Nicotinell TTS patches come in three step-down strengths: TTS 30 (21mg), TTS 20 (14mg) and TTS 10 (7mg). The idea is to start on the strength that matches how much you smoke, then gradually step down as your body adjusts. TTS 10 is the lowest 7mg step and is usually the final stage before stopping patches altogether. It is well suited to weaning off a higher-strength patch, or to lighter smokers. If you are unsure which strength to start on, ask your pharmacist.

How to use Nicotinell TTS 10 patches

Apply one patch a day to clean, dry, non-hairy skin – a good spot is the upper arm, hip or upper body. Press it firmly in place for 10–20 seconds. Because it is a 24-hour patch, you can wear it day and night to help control early-morning cravings, then replace it with a fresh patch at the same time each day. Rotate the site each day – don't use the same area of skin two days running – to reduce the risk of skin irritation, and wash your hands after applying. If you get vivid dreams or disturbed sleep, you can remove the patch at bedtime and apply a new one in the morning.

Using a patch with a faster-acting NRT

A patch controls steady, background cravings, but you may still get sudden, strong urges to smoke. Many people find it helps to combine the patch with a fast-acting form of NRT – such as gum, lozenges, a mouth spray or an inhalator – used as and when a craving strikes. This is known as combination therapy and can improve your chances of quitting. A pharmacist can help you put together the right combination.

Getting the most from your quit attempt

NRT works best as part of a wider plan. Using Nicotinell alongside support from your local NHS Stop Smoking Service, GP or pharmacist gives you the best possible chance of quitting for good. Set a quit date, remove cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays from your home, and plan how you'll handle the situations where you usually smoke. If you slip up, don't give up – keep using your NRT and keep going.
