Product Details
Nicotex Patch 21mg is a trans-dermal/skin patch that helps you quit smoking using the principle of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). The patch when placed on your body gradually releases nicotine throughout the day. Over the 12 week period, you will gradually reduce your nicotine intake and finally get back to life without dependence on cigarettes. It has a 24-hour release system that consistently releases nicotine into your body throughout the day*.
