Working Principle and Side Effects of Anti-Smoking Patch
01. Apply Anti-Smoking Patch
Anti-Smoking Patch can gradually get rid of the body's dependence on nicotine and cigarettes. The first step in the process is to apply the patch. Adhere the Anti-Smoking Patch to the smooth parts without hair, such as shoulders, back and upper arms. After applying, don't forget to wash your hands to wash off the excess nicotine.
02. Anti-Smoking Patch contains nicotine
The Anti-Smoking Patch contains nicotine, but not the harmful substances of cigarettes such as tar or gas. When we smoke, the ingested nicotine circulates in the bloodstream for 20-30 minutes before leaving the body and craving it again. This is also the reason for the formation of smoking addiction. But the nicotine in the Anti-Smoking Patch is slowly absorbed by the skin, so it can suppress the craving for cigarettes. When the Anti-Smoking Patch was first used, the amount of nicotine was higher. Then gradually reduce it until you finally get rid of dependence or quit smoking.
03. When to use Anti-Smoking Patch
It is usually necessary to keep the Anti-Smoking Patch on the skin for 16-24 hours. During the period, there are three stages of 21 mg, 14 mg and 7 mg. If you smoke a pack a day, start with the 21 mg patch and continue for 4-6 weeks. Then switch to 14 mg and 7 mg patches, and use each for 2 weeks. By this time, the nicotine count is low and the body is primed for withdrawal. Heavy smokers should use higher doses of the 24-hour patch. People who are not heavy smokers can start with a low-dose 16-hour patch.
04. Where to apply Anti-Smoking Patch
The Anti-Smoking Patch should be replaced daily and applied to new locations as the skin tends to become sensitive due to the absorption of nicotine. The whole process usually takes 8-10 weeks, but it also depends on the actual situation of the individual, such as the size of smoking addiction and smoking age.
05. Side effects of Anti-Smoking Patch
Anti-Smoking Patch is an auxiliary product that is applied directly to the skin to help smokers quit smoking. The skin continuously absorbs nicotine from the patch to achieve the ultimate goal of gradually reducing the craving for cigarettes. The Anti-Smoking Patch has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has confirmed that this product is effective for smokers who are trying to quit. However, it should be known that the following adverse reactions may occur when using Anti-Smoking Patch.
1. Irritation and nausea
The most common side effects of the Anti-Smoking Patch are irritation and nausea, which are most common during the first week of starting irritation. Fortunately, these adverse effects can disappear naturally after the body adapts.
2. Skin redness
After peeling off the Anti-Smoking Patch, the skin looked a little red. In most cases, this redness disappears within 1-2 days. However, if it persists for more than a few days, or if pain occurs, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately.
3. Tingling
The Food and Drug Administration reminds users that the skin under the Anti-Smoking Patch may experience a tingling sensation. But this is a normal feeling and usually goes away on its own within an hour. This side effect is most common during the first three days of starting Anti-Smoking Patch.
4. Nicotine Overdose
In rare cases, it is possible for the body to absorb too much nicotine. This can cause symptoms such as blurred vision and weakness. If you suspect a nicotine overdose, see your doctor right away.
5. Long-term use
At present, no other adverse reactions have been found to be caused by using the Anti-Smoking Patch for more than 20 weeks.
