All of the information on proper application can be found inside the box of patches.

If you experience side effects, consult your doctor.

  1. Find a clean, hairless area on your upper body to place the patch.

  2. Open the package.

  3. Remove the packaging.

  4. Place the sticky side of the patch on the skin and hold for ten seconds. If patch does not stick, you can use medical tape.

  5. Patch stays on for 24 hours, or until bedtime (if you experience sleep disturbances from the nicotine).

  6. A new patch replaces the old patch every morning.

  7. DO NOT cut patches in an attempt to alter doses.
