The step – down program
If you’re looking to give up smoking, Niquitin® step-down program will help match you with the right strength of nicotine patch, depending on how many cigarettes you currently smoke.
Niquitin® Clear Patches come in three strengths which deliver different levels of nicotine release over a 24-hour period. This means that you can gradually decrease the amount of nicotine in your system, helping you to beat those pesky cravings.
The length of time your step-down program should be depends on how many cigarettes you currently smoke. If you currently smoke 10 or more cigarettes a day, we recommend our 10 week program, starting with a 21mg nicotine patch. If you smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day, we recommend our 8 week program which starts with our 14mg nicotine patch.
