Nicotinell relieves the urge to smoke for 24 hours.

Nicotinell 21 mg/24 h patches are designed for heavy smokers (20+ cigarettes per day) seeking effective support to quit. Each patch delivers a continuous 21 mg of nicotine over 24 hours, helping to reduce withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings without the need for frequent dosing.

How it works:
The transdermal patch releases nicotine steadily through the skin into the bloodstream, preventing peaks and troughs. This consistent delivery helps ease common withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and strong urges to smoke.

Step-down quitting plan:

Weeks 1–6: Use 21 mg patch daily (Step 1)
Weeks 7–8: Transition to 14 mg patch (Step 2)
Weeks 9–10: Finish with 7 mg patch (Step 3)
Completing all three phases increases the likelihood of successfully quitting while minimizing discomfort from nicotine reduction.

Usage instructions:
Apply a new patch each morning to clean, dry, non-hairy skin—such as the upper arm, chest, or hip. Press firmly for 10 seconds and rotate application sites daily to prevent skin irritation. Remove after 24 hours, fold adhesive sides together, and discard safely.

Warnings & precautions:
For adults only; not suitable for non-smokers or occasional smokers. Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, or skin sensitivities. Remove the patch before MRI scans or if sleep disturbances or skin irritation occur. Avoid concurrent nicotine use such as cigarettes, gum, lozenges, or sprays.

Scope
The drug is used to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms and to support smoking cessation in case of nicotine addiction.
Dosage
Monotherapy:
Dosage for adults and the elderly
The initial dose depends on your previous smoking habit. For optimal treatment, follow the following dosing schedule:
More than 20 cigarettes per day:
Initial 3-4 weeks: 21 mg strong dose
Continue 3-4 weeks: 14 mg medium dose
Fading 3-4 weeks: 7 mg mild dose
Less than 20 cigarettes per day:
Initial 3-4 weeks: 14 mg medium dose
Continue 3-4 weeks: 14 mg medium dose
Fading 3-4 weeks: 7 mg mild dose
Thus, over 9-12 weeks, less and less nicotine is gradually supplied. This rids the body of nicotine and at the same time significantly reduces the physical withdrawal symptoms.
If your desire to smoke has significantly decreased prematurely, you can switch to a lower strength patch after just one week. The 7 mg/24 hour patch is suitable for reducing the level of nicotine replacement towards the end of treatment.
Unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor, the usual dose is:
Apply the transdermal patch every day when you get up and leave it on your skin for 24 hours. Applying it immediately after waking up can help avoid sleep disturbances that may occur at night and prevent the typical morning craving for a cigarette.
