Whether you're a heavy or light smoker, Nicabate® Patches can help you quit smoking. They work by providing a continuous dose of nicotine around the clock, to protect you from the cravings whenever they strike.
Nicabate® Patches provide a continuous stream of nicotine and so offer you around the clock protection even against those tough morning cravings. Waking up with the urge to smoke is one of the strongest predictors of lapsing (smoking a cigarette) at any time of the day.1 Remember that cravings don't sleep, so even when your body is at rest it is important for your body to receive adequate levels of nicotine to protect against morning cravings.2
Choose from the original skin coloured or clear Nicabate® Patch. They both come in three different strengths (or Steps), which means they deliver different levels of therapeutic nicotine to your body. The step down program allows your body to gradually wean itself off nicotine while keeping the cravings and withdrawal symptoms under control.
Nicabate PRE-QUIT combined with the Nicabate patch 10-week step down program is the most effective way to quit when using patch.3-6
