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...

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!

Positive aspects :1)Helps in craving control.2)Reduces chance to relapse.3)Easy to apply and works effectively for 24 hoursNegative aspects :1) Requires awareness about nicotine replacement otherwise one will end up taking nicotine higher than the addiction !2) Causes reactionary Gastrointestinal disturbances if replacement patch applied for long ( only when patch nicotine :cigarettes nicotine goes up )# Overall, under observation it can work effectively.

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.

I used 21mg strips for 2 weeks and now shifted to 14mg strip. It did work wonders for me. i smoke 30 cig a day which got reduced to 14cig a day. But the place where I am apply the patch there is alot irritation and rashes. has anybody faced this ? Please help. I want to continue using these patches.

It’s been 3 days since I started using the patch. I was smoking close to 20 a day and decided to quit. This 100% helps to reduce the cravings. And i am down to 3-4 a day drastically.Little tips for those wanting to quit.1. Go for it. Buy in bulk so that after spending all this money atleast you’ll feel like using it so that the money is not wasted.2. Be prepared for MASSIVE nausea and vomitting feeling. So better to start on a Saturday or your days off from work.3. The place where you put the patch will start hurting in 2-3 hours. If it’s your arm, the whole arm will start hurting. If it’s your leg your thighs to toes will feel stiff. Keep it as long as you can, then take it off for the first few days. Then it gets better. See if sleeping is difficult, either you put half a patch and go to sleep or try putting an ice pack on the area and then sleep. Or not wear it at all while you’re sleeping.It’s definitely worth the trouble. I am waking up with a lighter chest and better breathing from the last two days. Go for it.

Quite strong, stops the urges but definitely requires will power and commitment for cessation. Initial use caused a lethargic pain in whichever site i used (left arm in my case) but settles with repeated usage. For initial hour or two, the patch site itches quite uncomfortably which u have to bear until it subsides (scratching on top of patch gently helps). Don't be empty stomach for initial few times else you'll feel very sick. Important thing is choosing the site....found higher up the arm, near shoulder it maintains the adhesive as sweat production is minimal even in summers (delhi). The lower u go (on arm....like just above elbow), the more sweat my skin produced upon application causing the patch to fall off. Avoid using same site continuously. Utilising both shoulders alternatively.

Terrible adhesive. Will peel of after 1-2 hrs.Needed medical tape to fix it. For this cost, this is unacceptable
