Nupatch

Nupatch from Zydus is a skin patch that contains Nicotine. It is used as part of nicotine replacement therapy to help people quit smoking by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

• Help with quitting smoking
• Easing nicotine withdrawal symptoms
• Reducing cravings during the day
• Support along with counselling or quit programmes

The patch slowly releases a steady, low dose of nicotine through the skin into the blood. This replaces the nicotine the body is used to from cigarettes, easing cravings and withdrawal feelings, while removing the harmful tar and smoke from tobacco.

Use as prescribed by your doctor. Stick the patch on clean, dry, hairless skin on the upper arm or chest each morning, and change the site daily. Do not cut the patch.

• Skin redness or itching at the patch site
• Headache
• Vivid dreams or trouble sleeping
• Mild nausea

Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, recent heart attack, uncontrolled high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not smoke while using the patch.

Keep below 25°C in the original sealed pouch, away from heat and sunlight. Keep used and unused patches out of reach of children and pets.
