Niquitin 21 MG transparent anti-tobacco 24H patches are a good solution for smokers who want to take a treatment once a day and stop thinking about it. They are an invaluable aid to quitting smoking, because by using them, you double your chances of success.
24-hour effectiveness: NiQuitin Clear patches feature an exclusive control membrane. Thanks to this, a regulated quantity of nicotine is delivered to the body over a 24-hour period. As a result, the body always receives a constant dose of nicotine, which also helps fight the urge to light up a cigarette in the morning. NiQuitin Clear patches are transparent, offering a discreet solution.
NiQuitin patches ensure a constant and regular delivery of nicotine over 24 hours. They therefore enable you to fight cravings throughout the day. NiQuitin patches are 24-hour patches with a unique technology:
Step by step :
For the first six weeks, use NiQuitin Clear - Step 1. Each patch releases
21 mg of nicotine to the body. Stick on your first patch after
your last cigarette.
For the next two weeks, continue with NiQuitin Clear - Step 2. Throughout the day
day (24 h), each patch delivers 14 mg of nicotine to the body.
This brings you to the final step, NiQuitin Clear - Step 3. For 24 hours, each
patch delivers 7 mg of nicotine to the body. Have you followed the treatment to the end?
If so, you're more likely to succeed in quitting.
COMPLETE STOPPING OF TOBACCO - Monotherapy :
NiQuitin patches are used in 2 or 3 stages, depending on your degree ofdependence on tobacco (Fagerström test), with decreasing dosages of 21 mg, 14 mg, 7 mg /24 hours. Gradually, the dosage of patches isreduced until you can do without nicotine.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSULT A DOCTOR IF THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. IF IN DOUBT, ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST FOR ADVICE.
If used in combination, medical advice should be sought.
Anticipating temptations
During the first few weeks of quitting, nicotine cravings can manifest themselves in frequent, sudden peaks, during which the desire to resume smoking becomes very intense. These sudden cravings are not always unexpected. They correspond to circumstances in which you used to smoke, or are triggered by stimuli such as smells or the sight of a cigarette. These are conditioned reflexes.
These peaks last an average of 3 to 4 minutes, and it's important to be prepared for them, so as to better overcome them and avoid relapse. When the irresistible urge for a cigarette strikes, do something to occupy the moment:

(See section 4 "What are the possible side effects? ").
Taking this medicine may lead to dependence.

Not applicable.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
It is very important to stop smoking during pregnancy, as it may slow down the growth of your baby. Delayed fetal growth, premature delivery and late fetal death have been observed in pregnant smokers.
Smoking cessation during pregnancy requires medical advice and follow-up. You should therefore consult the doctor who is monitoring your pregnancy, or your usual doctor, or a doctor at a center specializing in smoking cessation. If you are unable to stop smoking without nicotine replacement therapy, this medicine may be recommended by your doctor.
Breast-feeding
The use of this medicine should be avoided during breast-feeding, as nicotine passes into breast milk and may affect your child. However, if you wish to stop smoking and breastfeed your child, consult your doctor or a doctor at a center specializing in smoking cessation.
The use of intermittent doses of nicotine replacement therapy may minimize the amount of nicotine present in breast milk, compared with patches, as the time interval between taking the substitute and breast-feeding can be extended as much as possible.
Fertility
Smoking can affect fertility in both men and women. However, the specific contribution of nicotine to these effects in humans is not known.

Health education advice :
|
Quitting smoking as soon as possible has immediate health benefits. It's never too late to quit, even if you've smoked a lot for a long time. |
As soon as you stop smoking
- you will no longer absorb the irritating and toxic substances of cigarettes,
- you'll notice certain improvements: gradual disappearance of headaches, coughing, throat irritation and shortness of breath,
- you'll often enjoy the satisfaction of better sleep, food flavors and smells, and improved physical performance,
- reduce your risk of developing lung cancer or cardiovascular disease. In the case of heart or arterial disease (angina pectoris, arteritis of the lower limbs), it is particularly important to succeed in quitting smoking.
What is tobacco dependence?
Tobacco addiction is twofold:
- Psychological dependence:
Smoking a cigarette involves a ritual of automatic, repetitive gestures associated with particular circumstances (pleasure, response to stress, intellectual stimulation, support for morale, need for the gesture of conviviality). This is psychological and behavioral dependence.
- Physical dependence:
The body's need for nicotine is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. This is physical dependence. Failure to satisfy this need leads to a sensation of craving (see description in the chapter "How to overcome your physical dependence").
Nicotine substitutes are designed to treat this dependence.
How to overcome your psychological dependence?
- To increase your chances of success, you need to stop smoking completely:
o choose a day when you feel most confident about quitting.
o Throw away your last pack of cigarettes, your lighter and put away your ashtrays.
o In the case of a smoking couple, it's best for both partners to quit at the same time.
- Let your family and colleagues know that you're quitting smoking. Ask them to respect your decision (not to smoke near you, not to offer you any more cigarettes).
- Be prepared for the urge to smoke. It may come on suddenly and intensely, especially in the first few weeks after you've stopped smoking, but it shouldn't last more than 3 or 4 minutes.
You need to plan what you will do in this case and act very quickly to avoid "cracking", for example
o drinking a large glass of water
o chew gum,
o count to 100,
o take a few deep breaths,
o leaving the room,
o change activity...
- Avoid situations associated with smoking (coffee, aperitifs, etc.), avoid temptations (sit with non-smokers). Find ways to compensate for smoking (hobbies, sports, cultural activities, etc.).
How can you overcome your physical dependence?
If you're addicted to nicotine, you may need to use nicotine substitutes to succeed.
To assess your level of dependence, we suggest you take the Fagerström test.
FAGERSTROM TEST

TOTAL POINTS |
score from 0 to 2: you are not addicted to nicotine. You can stop smoking without needing a nicotine replacement. However, if you're worried about quitting, ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice.
score of 3 to 4: you are mildly dependent on nicotine.
score 5 to 6: you are moderately dependent on nicotine. The use of nicotine substitutes will increase your chances of success. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on the best treatment for you.
score from 7 to 10: you are strongly or very strongly dependent on nicotine. The use of nicotine substitutes is recommended to help you overcome this nicotine dependence. This treatment must be used in sufficient and appropriate doses.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice, possibly in the context of a specialized smoking cessation consultation.
Withdrawal symptoms may persist for a long time, and treatment should be of sufficient duration, usually one to three months.
If, despite treatment, you experience a persistent "craving" sensation, such as
- the urge to smoke
- irritability, sleep disturbances
- restlessness or impatience,
- difficulty concentrating.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
How can we help you?
- Support from healthcare professionals
The support, advice and follow-up provided by your doctor or pharmacist will be invaluable during the first six months of quitting smoking. You can also turn to a specialized smoking cessation consultation, especially if you've already failed.
- Psychological support
Quitting smoking requires a supportive family and social environment. If you're worried that the difficulties are too great, psychological support or temporary treatment can help.
- Diet
In the months following smoking cessation, you may notice a moderate weight gain. If you have any concerns in this area, you can speak to a health professional who will be able to advise you.
Why have you started smoking again?
Think of this relapse as an accident along the way, as a normal learning event: a relapse is not a failure.
Analyze the reasons why you started smoking again.
- Physical dependence
This may not have been properly taken into account, or it may have reappeared after several months, for example, during prolonged stays in smoky atmospheres.
- Because of excessive weight gain
You may need to modify your eating habits a little before your next attempt to stop smoking.
- Because of a drop in motivation, because of a painful event or a difficult period, because of psychological difficulties that have arisen during the quitting process (depression, anxiety...), because of a lack of energy, because of a lack of energy or because of a lack of energy..), or because of a very tempting situation. Understand the reason for the relapse, so you can prevent it if possible the next time you try.
In all cases, don't hesitate to ask a healthcare professional for advice, or seek out a specialized smoking cessation consultation.
|
If you've started smoking again, don't be discouraged. Experience shows that your chances of success increase after one or more quit attempts. |
