Habitrol Reviews

Overview

Habitrol is a medication used as an aid to quit smoking.  This product is more effective if used together with a quit smoking program.  The Habitrol patch will help you stop smoking by decreasing nicotine withdrawal symptoms.  It could also gradually release the nicotine into your bloodstream through your skin.

Product Details

The Habitrol patch program is composed of three different levels that are recommended with different dosages.  The dosage will depend on how much cigarette you consume daily.  The more you consume cigarettes, the higher the dosage will be.

You will be required to complete the eight-week program of Habitrol patch.  After completing the program, you can stop using it.  Before using the Habitrol patch program, you must be sure that you really want to quit smoking otherwise the purpose of using the product will be defeated.

The Habitrol patch recommended dosages are as follows:

• If you are consuming more than 10 cigarette sticks a day, you are advised to use the 21mg strength for the first four weeks.  For weeks five and six, you can use the 14mg strength daily.  As you end the entire program, that is, for weeks seven and eight, the 7mg strength is recommended for daily use.

• If you are only smoking less than 10 sticks of cigarettes daily, you are required to use the 14mg strength of Habitrol patch for the first six weeks.  For the seventh and eighth weeks you can use the 7mg strength Habitrol patch daily.

The Good

The Habitrol nicotine patch will prevent you from the harmful tars, toxins, and chemicals found in cigarettes.  Other than this, the benefits of the program extend to the following:

• It does not have smoke that can affect the people around you.
• It will also make your breathing easier.
• It will make your taste buds better.
• It will improve your sense of smell.
• It will motivate you to walk and exercise.

The Bad

While you are under the eight-week program of Habitrol, you will experience nausea, dizziness, dryness of the mouth, diarrhea, nervousness, headache, sleep disturbances and irritability.  You are advised to remove the patch immediately and call your physician if you will also experience severe skin irritation or discoloration, palpitations, tightening of the chest, or any symptoms of nicotine overdose like extreme paleness, cold sweat, nausea, abdominal pain and mental confusion.

The Bottom Line

Habitrol patch programs are so effective that even the largest cigarette manufacturers are threatened by its effectiveness.  The cigarette companies are questioning the authenticity of the product because their sales have been tremendously affected by the popularity of the program.

Your cravings for nicotine will be prevented by gradually reducing the dosage of nicoderm patch during the entire program.  But if you think that you still need to continue using the patch after the required duration, that is, eight weeks, you should consult your doctor first regarding the matter.
