Habitrol Nicotine Patches - 7 Patches (Step 1 - 21mg)

The Habitrol® Nicotine Transdermal System Patch uses a step-down dosing system that allows you to gradually reduce your nicotine levels. Three patches with different nicotine dose levels (1-2-3) allow you to change the patch you wear (moving to a lower dose) over an eight-week period. Nicotine replacement therapy can reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, headaches, difficulty sleeping and concentrating, increased appetite, and craving for nicotine. By helping to reduce your physical nicotine withdrawal symptoms, the patch helps you to concentrate on the psychological aspects of quitting and to change habits that "trigger" your nicotine cravings.

It is important to complete the 8-week patch program. The FDA recently stated that using a smoking cessation product for longer than 8 weeks in order to quit is safe to do in most cases. If you feel you need to use the patch for longer than 8 weeks in order to stop smoking, talk to your health care provider.
