Applied once each morning, it releases nicotine steadily for a full 24 hours, so it's already controlling cravings the moment you wake. This is Step 3 — the lowest strength for the final weeks before you stop. A one-week supply. 7 patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow 24-hour patches work\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere Step 3 fits in the programme\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe programme steps down in strength: Step 1 (21mg) for the first weeks and heavier smokers, then Step 2 (14mg), then Step 3 (7mg). Move down a step as your body adjusts, following the pack. Ask our pharmacist if you're unsure where to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to put it and how to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo nicotine patches work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eImportant safety information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor smokers aged 18 and over. Remove before an MRI scan. Mild skin redness or itching under the patch is common; rotate the site. If you get vivid dreams, remove the patch at night. Speak to a pharmacist first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have heart problems, diabetes or a skin condition. Keep out of reach of children and pets — even a used patch contains nicotine. Always read the leaflet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niquitin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730099184003,"sku":"2575058","price":13.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/91FIHCyHbEL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1786655308","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/niquitin-original-patches-7mg","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
