NRT As The Solution For Quit Smoking

Nicotine Replacement Therapies or also known as NRT is a popular way to quit smoking. One of the most popular products is the nicotine patch. Nicotine patch is available for purchase over the counter since the year 1996. Since then, many smokers have given a try on the nicotine patch. Some managed to quit smoking successfully while others are struggling to quit smoking but nevertheless, whether a smoker manage to quit smoking successfully or not depends on the determination and not on the products or treatments.

How does a nicotine patch works?

A nicotine patch contains a controlled dose of nicotine which is to be released throughout the day to minimise the effect of nicotine withrawal. Gradually, the dependency on nicotine will reduce or drop.

It is very easy to use a nicotine patch as a quit smoking treatment. First of all, get the nicotine patch from the pharmacies. There are different doses such as 21mg, 14mg and 7mg. If you are smoking at least 20 sticks in a day, you should get the 21mg dose of nicotine patch.

Side effects of nicotine patch have been identified as the following:

  • Itching, burning or tingling when the patch is applied. This usually goes away within an hour, and is a result of nicotine coming in contact with the skin.
  • Redness or swelling at the patch site for up to 24 hours.
  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Upset stomach
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea

If you experience one or more conditions as mentioned above, you should consult the doctor immediately. However, not everyone will have the same effects and sometimes, there are no effects at all.
