A nicotine patch must be applied to a clean, dry, and non-hairy area on the trunk or upper arm, as recommended in the manufacturer’s instruction sheet. Prior to applying the patch, ensure that the skin is free of any irritants, and remove any hair if necessary.
Do not use the patch over any irritated or damaged skin, or over any other skin products, such as lotions, makeup, and powders. Never use the patch if the individual pouch is open or damaged or if the patch is cut, torn, or damaged. To avoid irritation, apply the patch to a different area each time, waiting at least a week between applications at the same site. In case the patch falls off, apply a new one.
Do not wear a patch for more than 24 hours. Do not wear more than 1 patch at a time. After removing each patch, fold it in half so it sticks to itself, and discard in the trash away from children and pets.
