About NicoDerm CQ

Quitting smoking is difficult. Cigarettes are addictive for many people because nicotine, the active ingredient of tobacco, releases dopamine in the brain, causing a euphoric feeling. Cigarette smoking can actually change the structure of the brain over time, making quitting quite a challenge. Almost one-third of those who try cigarettes will become addicted.^[2]

There are many methods to quit smoking; one popular method is nicotine replacement therapy. Nicotine replacement therapies, like the NicoDerm CQ transdermal patch, work by providing a steady, yet relatively small, dose of nicotine into the body.^[3] The patch triggers the body to feel satisfied because it is receiving the nicotine to which it is accustomed. The NicoDerm CQ patch contains much less nicotine than what a habitual smoker would inhale and does not contain any of the additional ingredients that make cigarettes harmful. Over time, smokers will notice their cigarette cravings disappear as their body is weaned of its nicotine dependence.^[3]

• Nicoderm's patent for nicotine patches is expired; therefore, there are several generic forms of the product on the market. Unlike prescription drugs, FDA regulations do not require generic formulas of OTC medications like Nicoderm to be tested for equivalence to their brand-name versions. However, generic or store-brand Nicoderm costs significantly less, and contains the same active ingredient. Pharmacists can help consumers compare brand-name Nicoderm to specific generics.^[7]
