Habitrol Patches Step 1 - 21mg 7s

Each Habitrol Patches Step 1 21mg 7s lasts for 24 hours. When you apply a Habitrol patch to your skin, the nicotine passes through your skin and into your body, replacing the nicotine you would have got from smoking. As your body adjusts to the treatment, your dosage of nicotine is gradually reduced and finally stopped all together.

Habitrol patches are designed in 'steps.':

• Step 1 (21mg) should be used for six weeks and delivers 21mg of nicotine over a 24-hour period per patch.
• Step 2 (14mg) should be used for two weeks and delivers 14mg of nicotine over a 24-hour period per patch and
• Step 3 (7mg) should be used for two weeks and delivers 7mg of nicotine over a 24-hours period.

The patch Helps you quit smoking by reducing your nicotine withdrawal symptoms. When you wear a patch, nicotine is gradually released into your bloodstream through the skin. This reduces the withdrawal symptoms that many people normally feel when they quit smoking because it replaces lower amounts of the nicotine that your body has become accustomed to from smoking.
