Stopping smoking is a challenging process where the physical need for nicotine can put your perseverance to the test. Missing your daily routine and the emerging withdrawal symptoms make it difficult to keep going, which often leads to frustration or a relapse. NiQuitin Clear 21 mg offers the necessary support by providing your body with a controlled supply of nicotine over 24 hours, which takes the edge off withdrawal symptoms and allows you to focus fully on breaking your habits.

• Continuous support: The patch releases nicotine evenly over 24 hours, which helps to control the morning craving for a cigarette.
• Relief of withdrawal symptoms: Helps reduce the irritation and restlessness that occur when you stop smoking.
• Step-by-step approach: Part of a structured programme to reduce nicotine needs in phases.
• Discreet use: The transparent patch can be worn unobtrusively on the skin under your clothing.

How it works

NiQuitin Clear uses nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to make the transition to a smoke-free life easier. The patch acts as a temporary aid that replaces the nicotine from cigarettes, but without the harmful tar and carbon monoxide of tobacco smoke. By maintaining a constant level in the blood, the receptors in the brain are satisfied, which helps to gradually reduce physical dependence when you follow the dosage schedule.
