About Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch

Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to support adult smokers in the crucial early phase of their quit journey. Each clear patch delivers 21mg of nicotine over 24 hours to help reduce cigarette consumption and nicotine cravings, making it easier to prepare psychologically and physically to quit smoking completely. The clear, discreet patches are worn on the skin and gradually release nicotine, helping you cut down on smoking before your quit date.

This pack contains 7 patches, ideal for a 2-4 week pre-quit programme, allowing you to continue smoking while feeling less urge to light up. Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch is part of a structured quit smoking plan, supporting smokers who typically smoke 10 or more cigarettes a day. Regular use alongside behavioural support increases your chances of successfully quitting.

What Is Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch Used For?

Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch is used to help adult smokers cut down on cigarettes before they fully stop smoking. It releases a controlled amount of nicotine that enters your bloodstream through the skin, easing cravings and withdrawal symptoms while you continue to smoke as needed. This pre-quit approach helps many smokers feel better prepared to quit smoking completely.

Who Is Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch Suitable For?

This patch is suitable for adult smokers aged 18 years and over who smoke around 10 or more cigarettes a day and want to cut down before stopping smoking entirely.

Do not use Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch if you:

  • Are allergic to nicotine or any ingredients in the patch.
  • Are a non-smoker, occasional smoker or under 18 years of age.

Talk to a healthcare professional before use if you:

  • Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Have heart disease, uncontrolled thyroid disease, liver or kidney problems.
  • Experience persistent skin reactions at patch sites.
  • Have not reduced your smoking after 4 weeks of use.

How to Use Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch

  1. Choose clean, dry, non-hairy skin on the upper body or arm and remove the protective sachet.
  2. Apply the sticky side firmly and hold for at least 10 seconds to ensure good contact.
  3. Wear one patch daily for up to 24 hours; replace with a new patch every day.
  4. Rotate application sites and do not reuse the same area within 7 days.
  5. If the patch falls off, apply a new one and continue as normal.

Continue to smoke as usual during the 2-4 week pre-quit period. After this, aim to stop smoking completely and move to a structured quit plan or lower dose patches.

Possible Side Effects of Niquitin Pre-Quit Clear Patch

Like all nicotine replacement products, side effects can occur, though not everyone gets them:

  • Skin reactions at patch site (redness, itching, burning)
  • Dizziness, headache or sleep disturbances
  • Nausea, indigestion or dry mouth
  • Increased heart rate, nervousness

If severe reactions such as persistent heart palpitations, shortness of breath or allergic symptoms occur, stop using and seek medical advice.

  • Do not exceed the recommended daily use.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • If you continue to smoke heavily while using the patch, this may increase side effects due to excess nicotine intake.
