Nicotine EG 21mg/24h Patch nicotine Sevrage tabagique 28 patches is a medication designed to help smokers detoxify from tobacco. The transdermal device (patch) contains nicotine, the main active substance in tobacco, released progressively over a 24-hour day. The nicotine in the patch passes through the skin into the bloodstream, acting on the central nervous system to prevent smokers from experiencing the symptoms of quitting.
Nicotine substitutes are recommended for nicotine-dependent smokers who swallow the smoke. There are 3 dosages corresponding to 3 different patch surfaces, where the quantity of nicotine delivered is proportional to the surface area of the transdermal device. You can take the simplified Fagerström test above to assess your dependence and determine the right starting dosage for you. If symptoms appear after 1 or 2 days of treatment, the dosage should be adjusted upwards or downwards according to the following warning signs:
- overdose: nausea, headache, blurred vision, hearing impairment, tremor, dizziness.
- underdose: irritability, nervousness, stomach cramps, hunger, difficulty concentrating.
After 3 to 4 weeks, switch to a lower dosage and gradually stop. Different dosages can be combined.
