nicotine patch kaise lagaye, how to apply nicotine patch

If you haven’t managed to quit smoking yet, don’t lose heart. It can take many people 30 or more quit attempts before they manage to stop successfully.
Nicotine is a particularly addictive drug that’s an ingredient in cigarettes; withdrawal symptoms include headaches and anxiety. Nicotine replacement therapy that works by releasing a measured dose of nicotine into the skin, helping to wean smokers off their nicotine addiction and lessen the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
A nicotine patch looks much like an adhesive bandage and comes in a variety of sizes. You’ll put it on in the morning, on a clean, dry, and relatively hairless part of the body between the neck and the waist — for example, on the upper arm or the chest. The patch should be changed daily, and when you apply a new one, be sure to choose a different location to avoid any related skin irritation.
Once you apply a nicotine patch, you’ll wear it continuously throughout the dosage period. Because it takes a few hours for the nicotine in the patch to seep into the bloodstream, says Dr. Choi, you might want to combat any immediate cravings with a piece of nicotine gum or a nicotine lozenge.
Nicotine patches are generally used as part of an eight-week smoking cessation program, which may follow this pattern:
Weeks 1–4: You’ll wear a nicotine patch that delivers a strong dose of nicotine — for example, 15 to 21 milligrams (mg) per day.
Weeks 5–8: You’ll switch to a weaker patch, one that may deliver 5 to 14 mg per day.
