Nicotex 21mg - Step 1 (7 Patches) is a transdermal nicotine patch designed to deliver a steady 21 mg dose of nicotine over 24 hours. This product is used during the initial phase of a structured quit-smoking plan, particularly suitable for individuals who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day. As part of a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) program, it alleviates withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and intense cravings. Unlike gum or lozenge, the patch provides continuous nicotine release without the need for repeated dosing, supporting consistent relief throughout the day and night.
- Smoking Cessation Treatment > Nicotine Withdrawal For smokers aiming to quit, especially those with high dependency, the 21 mg patch is the recommended first-line approach in the step-down nicotine tapering protocol. It offers ease of use and convenience for individuals seeking an unobtrusive, hands-free method of nicotine replacement.
Nicotine polacrilex in patch form is absorbed steadily through the skin and into the bloodstream. This delivery method bypasses the digestive tract and reduces the spikes and crashes associated with smoking. By stabilizing nicotine levels over 24 hours, the patch curbs cravings and withdrawal without requiring behavioral interaction (e.g., chewing or dissolving). This makes it especially effective during the first 4 weeks of a cessation regimen.
Dosage Selection Criteria: - For those who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day, begin with Step 1 (21 mg/day) Recommended Dosing Schedule (12 Weeks Total): - Step 1: 21 mg/day for 4 weeks - Step 2: 14 mg/day for 2 weeks - Step 3: 7 mg/day for 2 weeks Usage Instructions: - Apply one patch per day to a clean, dry, hairless area (upper arm, chest, back) - Do not apply to irritated, red, or broken skin - Rotate application sites daily to avoid skin irritation - Do not cut the patch, as this disrupts controlled delivery - If vivid dreams or insomnia occur, remove patch at bedtime and reapply in the morning - Avoid using lotion or oils near the application site - Continue full-day wear (24 hours) unless otherwise directed Alternative NRT Options: GUM: 2–4 mg per piece; chew-park-repeat method; max 24/day LOZENGE: 2–4 mg; dissolve 20–30 minutes; max 20/day INHALER: ≥6 cartridges/day initially; max 16/day NASAL SPRAY: 1–2 sprays/nostril/hr; max 40 mg/day Each method serves unique behavioral needs and craving patterns; combining patch with gum or lozenge may enhance results in some cases.
Store patches in their original pouch at room temperature below 25°C. Keep away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Dispose of used patches by folding sticky sides together and placing in a sealed bag.

Arrived in 8 days.
Held on even after showering.
Didn’t make my skin red.
Cravings dropped within hours.
I was skeptical but desperate to quit. This patch gave me the consistency I needed. Day 5 now and no cigarettes. The mint scent is subtle, and the adhesive is strong. Definitely going to continue to Step 2.
No combo deals available at the moment.
