Directions for Use

Start taking Nicotex 14mg Patch 7's from the same day you quit taking nicotine (chewing or inhaling tobacco in the form of cigarettes). Nicotex 14mg Patch 7's is available in different forms that include gums, inhaler, nasal spray, lozenges, and patches.Gums: These gums should be chewed slowly, unlike regular gums, to get the most nicotine out of them. Chew at least after 15 minutes of eating or drinking. Try to chew until you get the peppery taste of nicotine. Then let the gum rest for some time. When you feel that there is no taste in gum, then chew it again. You need to chew it for half an hour until the taste completely fades. Lozenges: These are candy-like tablets similar to throat lozenges, especially for persons who do not prefer to chew gums. Keep the lozenge in the mouth and let it dissolve for 20-30 minutes. Do not swallow or chew lozenges. In this way, nicotine gets absorbed into the bloodstream and helps to manage 'nicotine craving'.Transdermal skin patch: It needs to be applied on a clean, dry, non-hairy area of the skin, such as the upper arm. An individual should remove the patch from the package, peel off the protective strip, and should apply it immediately on the skin. Then, gently press for 10 to 20 seconds and check that the skin patch remains in place.Nasal spray: Insert the tip of the bottle into a nostril while closing the other nostril and spray Nicotex 14mg Patch 7's towards the back of your nose. Keep your head straight and breathe gently. Repeat the same process for another nostril.Inhaler: Use Nicotex 14mg Patch 7's inhaler as advised by your doctor.
