Cipla Nicotex Nicotine Transdermal Patch | Helps to Quit Smoking | WHO - Approved Therapy | 7 Patches (Step 1-21mg)

My best friend having the weird habit of snuff chewing from his grand father. It makes him suffering with GERD. He uses max 6 pouches of snuff per day. I lost my patience towards him by advising him which was in vain coz he tried quitting but failed 3 times. I'm here to thank Cipla company. It is one of the best method to quit tobacco addiction. He uses only 2 pouches per day which is a miracle to him. It is only one week, From the 2nd week he decided to use 1 pouch per day. From 3rd week, decided to order 7-14mg for 2 weeks. Coz it does really works. Clean the area before apply coz sometimes it didn't stick well. Apply it in less hair area. At day 1st he said its itching and having weird dreams. No feeling of nausea or headaches no migraines till now. I googled how much nicotine does 1 snuff pouch have, its 12 mg then 12*6 = 72 mg/ (which is equal to 80 cigarettes) he intakes everyday that's y he still using 2 pouches. But I don't know about cigarettes, I never smoked. Day by day he is gaining control over his cravings which doesn't make him lose his temper as before. Yes, it is costly. But health comes as first priority. Don't apply it on the same place daily. When started itching it means begins to work. Itching will diminish slowly. No allergic reaction. To Long time tobacco addicters, this is the best option for quitting. No side effects till now. Unlike gum which giving jaw pain, it is painless. It is small in size but its working as miracle for those who want to quit. At first I too thought how it's possible but after watched him keenly, this product deserves heavy advertisement to make aware for needy peoples and should be available in all medical pharmacies. All the best for those who decided to quit. Best decision ever in your life 😊 Edit: Update Jan 23/23: Review about 14mg (This below ans is in my Friend's POV who really using this) 1st week of using 14 mg nearly took 2 days to adapt with the body for decreasing dose from 21mg to 14 mg. It is the best option for quit the smoking /chew tobacco habit in this 14mg session coz when u go to 7mg there u feel what really craving is. I really doubt sometimes "is there really nicotine present in the 7mg patches?" I don't want to demotivate anyone at the same time I really had to tell what I felt that might be very useful for someone like me. But I have to stick it coz I have ordered 2 packs of 7mg and can't quit the habit within 21 mg or 14 mg. One important thing is this 7mg really remembers the craving and urge u to go back to smoking that what Iam really afraid of. If u really had to quit don't ever smoke 1 cigarette /tobacco product while stick 7 mg its up to your will power. I must overcome the craving and continue the step3. Will update...

Very effective, like other patches , light on skin, and leaves no mark or irritation. However, the sticker seems to be of no use as it has to be peeled off for using.

Awesome product effective, from the first use of patch it's working.only one thing that you have to use cotton dressing tape on it for better stick.

Its the worst kind of nicotine patch. I have ised 8 patches till now and not a single patch has stayed stuck through out the day. The patch is too flimsy. they meed to work on their glue because it cant hold on to your skin. Im guessing its because of summer season.

Update: I found that the nicotine patch is too thin and tends to wrinkle, especially when placed on the back. It also causes redness that takes several days to go away. I think this is a problem with a specific batch of patches. After 10-15 days, I started using the full patch without cutting it in half. I no longer have any symptoms, except for occasional mild irritation. ------ Initial Review ------- I smoked for 23 years, reaching over 15 cigarettes a day. For the last five years, every cigarette's final puff was accompanied by a fleeting thought of quitting. It's important to realize that smoking grips you more psychologically than physically. I once tried the gum as a quitting aid, but its taste and the discomfort it brought made it a short-lived attempt. The patch, however, has been a game-changer, especially when combined with a solid determination to quit. I've come across reviews mentioning issues with the patch's adhesive, but I believe that might relate to older versions. The patch I've been using adheres securely and stays put. In the initial two days, I battled symptoms like nausea, a looming sensation of vomiting, dizziness, irritability, and numbness. Despite these challenges, my cravings remained in check. By day three, I halved the patch and positioned it on my back. This diluted intensity helped to some extent, although it made controlling cravings slightly tougher. The patch can induce a sense of fatigue, nudging you to rest earlier than usual. I still find myself reaching for 2-3 cigarettes daily, but I'm optimistic about reducing this number progressively, ultimately leading to complete cessation. My strategy is to keep daily smoking at a bare minimum during intense cravings, maintaining this routine for a month. Concurrently, I aim to break the behavioral patterns associated with smoking, striving to embrace a smoke-free identity. It's imperative to approach the patch with realistic expectations. It isn't a magical solution; it shoulders 90% of the effort, leaving the crucial 10% to your willpower and determination. Wishing everyone embarking on this journey the best of luck!

It won't stick properly and gets peeled off from the sking easily. You will need to stick some kind of bandage into it.

This is my third strip from the step 1 kit. I will write in detail about my experience so that someone else could be benefited. Applying is simple and smooth, once u apply forget abt the cravings the urge doesn't last. I am a chain smoker atleast 20 in a day but until the patch is their i don't feel the urge of smoking even if i smoked i didn't felt the same pleasure. So overall a very good product. Now the things you have to be prepared of after applying patch: 1. I applied on hand, it feels like u have took a vaccination dose. Hands are stiff and painful. While sleeping it pains a lot so don't apply on the same place again try turning the position. 2. When i applied first two days it gives that burning sensation not too much but bearable. 3. After applying patch, i felt guidiness, nauseau, vomitting sensation first two days on my third day too i m feeling the same so better u take WFH or plan it before applying as i couldn't concentrate on work in office and ended up coming home and applying a stretch work from home. But trust me it's very effective. 4. I couldn't keep it and sleep at night, hands were paining when u lie down a mild nauseau which makes you feel uncomfortable, so i take out every night before an hour so that i get peaceful sleep. First day, i didn't had single smoke Second day i ditched myself and after removing i had some 5 smoke Third day i didn't applied sp it was back to the craving again Fourth day i applied again and i m better with craving. Hope this effort will not be getting wasted, must try product better then the chewing gum and tablets.

I got it for my Uncle. As per him he used to smoke 10 to 12 cigarettes a day. After a week use of nicotex step2 as per him he is now down to 7 to 8 cigarettes which to me is effective. I am amazed by the quick results. Hopefully the trend continues and my Uncle is down to ZERO cigarettes soon. Will update the stars to 5 once this happens. The product to me appears to be bit pricey. Nonetheless if it is effective it is ok but little out of budget for common man.
