Habitrol patches are a very effective form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
Habitrol patches help to alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms by releasing a small, controlled amount of nicotine into the system.
Nicotine withdrawal symptoms can include craving for tobacco and the desire to smoke, irritability, moodiness, restlessness, tenseness, anxiety, a feeling of hunger, weight gain, difficulty concentrating and sleep disturbances.
Habitrol patches largely prevent these cravings, weight gain and other withdrawal symptoms.
Apply one Habitrol patch daily. Remove and replace at the same time each day.
For people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, it is recommended that you start on 21mg patches - Step 1. For people who smoke less than 20 a day, it is recommended that you start on 14mg patches - Step 2.
