The patch delivers a consistent 24-hour supply of nicotine through the skin, eliminating the peaks and troughs of cigarette-driven nicotine levels and allowing you to manage withdrawal symptoms steadily throughout the day and night.

FAQ: How does the Habitrol 3-step patch program work?

The program steps down nicotine dose over time: Step 1 (21mg, weeks 1-4) for heavy smokers, Step 2 (14mg, weeks 5-8) reducing the dose, then Step 3 (7mg, weeks 9-12) for the final wean. This gradual step-down approach prevents abrupt nicotine withdrawal while progressively reducing physical dependence. Ask our pharmacist about the full 12-week program and whether to start at Step 1 or Step 2.

FAQ: Where should I apply the nicotine patch?

Apply to clean, dry, hairless skin on the upper arm, chest or back. Rotate sites daily to avoid skin irritation. Press firmly for 10 seconds to ensure full adhesion. Replace at the same time each day. If the patch causes significant skin irritation at the application site, move to a different area and consult our pharmacist.
