Nicotinell 21 mg/24 h transderm. patch sachet 21

Type of application: For transdermal application (through the skin).

Cut open the pouch with scissors and remove the transdermal patch.

Do not cut into the Nicotinell transdermal patch.

Remove the cut, peel-off protective film located on the side of the transdermal patch. This side contains the active ingredient and will come into contact with your skin.

Apply the Nicotinell transdermal patch immediately after removing the protective film to a dry, healthy (no cuts, scratches, or bruises) and sparsely haired area of skin: shoulder blade, hip, outer upper arm, etc. Avoid moving areas of the body, such as joints, which are subject to friction from clothing. Do not cut the entire patch before applying it to the skin.

To ensure complete adhesion, press the entire surface of the plaster down with the palm of your hand for at least 10-20 seconds.

Leave the patch in place for 24 hours. If you have trouble sleeping, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Change your Nicotinell transdermal patch every 24 hours. Also, change the application site every day. If possible, avoid applying the patch to the same area of skin for a few days.
