What is Nicotine Step 1?

Nicotine Step 1 is a generic over-the-counter nicotine-replacement transdermal patch that helps manage nicotine withdrawal from quitting cigarettes. Nicotine is a stimulant that results in a powerful physical dependency by its users. Withdrawal symptoms can be harsh and are the primary reason smokers do not succeed at smoking cessation. These symptoms can last a month or more and include headaches, insomnia, depression, irritability, anxiety, and strong cravings for nicotine.

Some nicotine replacement therapies depend on ingesting nicotine, usually as a lozenge, gum, or nasal spray, when needed to relieve withdrawal symptoms or craving. The nicotine in Nicotine Step 1 is delivered continuously into the body for 24 hours through a transdermal patch.

Nicotine Step 1 is part of a three-step series of products. Step 1 delivers the highest daily dose of nicotine, 21 mg, or the equivalent of two and a half cigarettes. It is intended to be used in the first few weeks of smoking cessation by people who smoke more than ten cigarettes a day. Later steps reduce the daily dose of nicotine (14 mg in step 2 and 7 mg in step 3) to wean the smoker off nicotine dependency.

Nicotine replacement therapy is the most effective method at smoking cessation, but no nicotine replacement therapy is more effective than others for all smokers. Each individual will require a unique combination of nicotine replacement drugs and lifestyle changes to succeed at smoking cessation.

What are the side effects of Nicotine Step 1?

The most common physical side effects of Nicotine Step 1 include rapid heartbeats, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, gas, cough, appetite loss, sore throat, sore mouth, and dental pain. The most serious side effect of Nicotine Step 1 is high blood pressure, but that is equally true of the nicotine normally delivered in cigarettes.

The nicotine in Nicotine Step 1 is a stimulant, so mental and mood changes include nervousness, anxiety, irritability, and insomnia.

Allergic reactions are rare and have probably already been experienced by the smoker since smoking typically delivers a higher dose of nicotine than Nicotine Step 1 (8 mg per cigarette vs. 21 mg per 24-hour patch). Discontinue use of Nicotine Step 1 at any sign of an allergic reaction such as swelling, itching, rash, and shortness of breath.
