Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription for the Nicotine Patch 21mg/24HR?

Yes, this listing requires a prescription. A licensed provider reviews your health information before your order is approved, which helps confirm the patch and starting strength are appropriate for you.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you complete a short health questionnaire, a licensed provider reviews your order. Once approved, your medication is filled and shipped from a licensed U.S. pharmacy directly to your address.

How do I use the nicotine patch?

Apply one patch to clean, dry, hairless skin once every 24 hours and choose a different site each day. Most people who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day start with the 21mg patch for 6 weeks, then step down to lower strengths as directed.

How long does treatment with the patch last?

A typical step-down program lasts 8 to 10 weeks: 21mg daily for 6 weeks, then 14mg for 2 weeks, then 7mg for 2 weeks. Follow your provider's instructions, as your plan may be adjusted based on your smoking history.

Is the nicotine patch safe if I have heart problems?

People with heart disease, a recent heart attack, or irregular heartbeat should talk to a provider before using nicotine replacement. Your provider will weigh the risks against the significant health benefits of quitting smoking.
