Stopping smoking is one of the most challenging steps you can take for your health, with the constant urge for nicotine putting your perseverance to the test every day. The restlessness and withdrawal symptoms that occur when cutting down can disrupt your daily routine and make it difficult to stick to your goal. Nicotinell TTS20 patches offer responsible support by providing your body with a controlled amount of nicotine for 24 hours, which takes the edge off withdrawal symptoms and helps you maintain control over your attempt to quit.
- Even nicotine release over 24 hours helps to control the constant urge for a cigarette.
- Supports the reduction of irritation and concentration disorders during the quitting period.
- Easy-to-apply patch that can be worn discreetly under clothing for optimal ease of use.
- Dose-adjustable step-by-step plan makes it possible to reduce nicotine dependence gradually and responsibly.
How it works
Nicotinell TTS20 works via transdermal technology, which means that the active substance is gradually absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin. Unlike smoking, which creates nicotine spikes, this patch ensures a stable level in your body. This helps to break physical dependence step by step. By applying the patch daily to a hairless part of the skin, your system is supported without the harmful by-products of tobacco smoke, such as tar and carbon monoxide.

Use & Dosage
To increase the chance of success when stopping smoking, you must stop smoking completely during treatment with Nicotinell patches. Nicotinell patches should not be used by smokers under 18 years of age without prior medical advice. Apply to clean, dry, intact and hairless skin. After application, press the patch for 10-20 seconds. Alternate the location of the patch daily. Avoid contact with eyes and nose. Wash hands after use. Do not use for longer than 6 months without consulting a doctor. Maximum dosage: 1 patch per 24 hours. The correct strength is determined based on the number of cigarettes or the Fagerström test. With a score of 5 or higher (or >20 cigarettes per day) you start with 21 mg (Step 1). With a score lower than 5 you start with 14 mg (Step 2) for 3 to 4 weeks, followed by Step 3 (7 mg) for 3 to 4 weeks.
