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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Nicotinell patches help you stop smoking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere TTS 10 fits in the step-down programme\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicotinell 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use Nicotinell TTS 10 patches\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUsing a patch with a faster-acting NRT\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting the most from your quit attempt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNRT 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eImportant information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not smoke while using Nicotinell patches. However, NRT is far safer than smoking, so if you do have a cigarette, keep using the patch and carry on with your quit attempt. This product is for adults – check the pack for the minimum age – and it is not for non-smokers or children. 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. 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. Contains nicotine, which can be harmful – keep out of the sight and reach of children and pets, and dispose of used patches carefully. Always read the enclosed leaflet before use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicotinell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730097971587,"sku":"0909358","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/71YFJCVDYYL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1786366649","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/nicotinell-patch-step-3-24-hour","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
