What is Nicotinell Patch
The active ingredient contained in Nicotinell Patch is nicotine. This product is a nicotine patch that is used in nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). As a transdermal patch, Nicotinell Patch delivers nicotine to the body by way of the skin. In turn, this helps to stop smoking by preventing cravings along with withdrawal symptoms that typically occur when eliminating the smoking habit.
There are many ways of breaking smoking or nicotine dependence. Some people resort to quitting “cold turkey”, where they abruptly discontinue their habit. However, this measure tends to have many and unwanted side effects. Diverting one’s attention may be an option, too, where an individual may resort to a hobby or activity that will take their mind off smoking. The list could go on, but among the most effective and easiest way of eradicating nicotine addiction is by using Nicotinell Patch.
