Nicotine Patches

Nicotine patches are a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). They release a steady, low dose of nicotine through the skin to ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms while you quit smoking. Here you can compare nicotine patches sold on Amazon, usually in 21 mg, 14 mg and 7 mg strengths, in 16-hour and 24-hour versions. Research shows people who use NRT are more likely to quit than those who rely on willpower alone, and adding support from a doctor or quit programme improves the odds further.

Which nicotine patch strength should you start with?

Most brands follow a three-step plan. Always follow the instructions on the pack you buy, but the usual guide is:

  • More than 10 cigarettes a day: start with the 21 mg nicotine patch (Step 1) for about 6 weeks, then 14 mg for 2 weeks, then 7 mg for 2 weeks.
  • 10 or fewer cigarettes a day: start with the 14 mg patch (Step 2) for about 6 weeks, then 7 mg for 2 weeks.

Apply a new patch each morning to clean, dry, hairless skin on the upper arm, chest or hip, pressing it down for 10 seconds. Use a different spot each day to reduce skin irritation.

16-hour vs 24-hour nicotine patch

A 24-hour nicotine patch helps with the strong cravings many smokers feel first thing in the morning. If it causes vivid dreams or trouble sleeping, take it off at bedtime or switch to a 16-hour patch that is worn only during waking hours.

Safety: talk to a doctor first if this applies to you

Do not smoke while wearing a patch. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using nicotine patches if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have had a recent heart attack or stroke, have an irregular heartbeat or uncontrolled high blood pressure, or are under 18. Stop using the patch and get advice if you notice a fast or irregular heartbeat, nausea, dizziness or a severe skin reaction. Keep new and used patches away from children and pets: fold used patches in half, sticky sides together, before throwing them away.

Nicotine patch price in Bangladesh: buying online

Nicotine patches can be hard to find in local pharmacies, which is why many people in Bangladesh look for them online. Before ordering, switch the "Deliver to" address at the top of the Amazon page to Bangladesh. Some medicines are not eligible for international shipping, and Amazon will show whether the item can be delivered and what shipping and import charges apply. When the order arrives, check the expiry date and store the patches at room temperature, away from heat and direct sun.
