Product overview

About Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch 21mg

The Niquitin Pre-Quit Patch is a 21mg clear 24-hour patch designed to be used in the run-up to your quit day. Niquitin's pre-quit approach lets you start cutting your nicotine dependence in the couple of weeks before you stop smoking completely, which can make quit day itself easier. 7 patches.

How 24-hour patches work

A patch delivers a steady background level of nicotine through the skin, so cravings don't build up. Because this is a 24-hour patch, it keeps working overnight and is already active when you wake — unlike 16-hour patches, which are removed at bedtime. If you find you get vivid dreams or disturbed sleep, you can take the patch off at night instead.

How the pre-quit approach works

You wear the patch while still smoking in the weeks before quit day, then stop smoking on your quit day and continue with the Step patches. Follow the pack instructions and ask our pharmacist if you're unsure.

Where to put it and how to use it

Each day, apply the patch to clean, dry, hairless skin on your upper arm, hip or chest and press for about 10 seconds. Use a different spot each day to avoid skin irritation, and don't reuse the same area two days running.

Do nicotine patches work?

Yes — patches roughly double your chance of quitting compared with willpower alone, and they're far safer than smoking: the harm from cigarettes comes from tar and carbon monoxide, not nicotine.
