Nicotinell patches are an aid to help manage the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal and reduce cravings. To determine which patch is right for you, consider your smoking habits: if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day, use the Step 1 Nicotinell TTS 30 patches. If you smoke less than 20 cigarettes per day or have completed the Step 1 program, use the Nicotinell TTS 20 patches. If you have completed the Step 2 program, use the Step 3 Nicotinell TTS 10 patches. Do not start the patch program at Step 3. If you need advice before starting to use nicotine patches, consult your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Consistent supply of nicotine helps reduce cravings, and these patches can be used in conjunction with lozenges or gums for added relief. They provide 24-hour relief, which can help combat morning cravings.
