The NiQuitin Clear Patch Step 1 - 21mg is part of a smoking cessation aid. It is used to help individuals who are trying to quit smoking by providing a controlled dose of nicotine to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. The patch is designed to deliver nicotine through the skin over a 24-hour period.

How it works:

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT): The patch releases nicotine slowly into your bloodstream, helping to reduce the physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms that occur when you stop smoking.

Step 1 - 21mg: This is the first step in a typical 3-step program, where the nicotine dosage is highest in the first step and gradually reduced in subsequent steps (Step 2 and Step 3) over a few weeks.

Usage:

Duration: The 14-day course of Step 1 is typically used during the first two weeks of your quit plan, after which you may switch to Step 2 (14mg) and Step 3 (7mg) for further reduction.

The patch is usually applied to a clean, dry area of skin once daily and worn for 24 hours.

It is recommended as part of a structured quit-smoking program and works best when combined with behavioral support and a plan to gradually reduce nicotine dependence.
