Why is there no information here about what Nicorette 10mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 3) is for?

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

How should I use Nicorette 10mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 3)?

Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Nicorette 10mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 3) before I buy it?

Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you.

How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day. Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay. FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can Nicorette 10mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 3) be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee. Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is Nicorette 10mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 3) registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number. An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre. For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Overview

Nicorette 10mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 3) is a patch with Nicotine 10 mg per patch, delivering approximately 10 mg over 16 hours declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 7s.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Apply one new patch each morning to clean, dry, non-hairy skin on the hip, chest, upper arm, or back, pressing it firmly in place for a few seconds. Remove the patch after about 16 hours, and apply a fresh patch to a different skin site the next day to reduce skin irritation. Step 3 (10mg/16h) is typically used for around the final 2 weeks of the program, after completing Step 2, before stopping nicotine replacement therapy altogether.

Dosage

Apply one 10mg/16h patch daily, worn for 16 hours and then removed, typically for about the final 2 weeks of the program, following completion of the Step 2 (15mg/16h) patch. This is the lowest-strength patch in the program and is intended to help taper off nicotine replacement completely once this step is finished.

Shelf Life

Nicorette Transdermal Patches typically have a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from manufacture when stored correctly and unopened; check the expiry date printed on the sachet and carton before use. Do not use a patch beyond its expiry date, as nicotine release may no longer be reliable.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keeping each patch sealed in its individual sachet until ready to use. Keep out of reach and sight of children and pets, and dispose of used patches carefully by folding the sticky sides together, as used patches still contain enough nicotine to be harmful, especially to children and animals.

Side Effects

Headache
Dizziness
Nausea or stomach discomfort
Dry mouth or throat irritation
Increased heart rate
Sleep disturbances
Skin irritation (with patch use)

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any component of the patch
Non-smokers and children (not intended for use)
Recent heart attack, unstable or worsening angina, or serious irregular heart rhythm, unless a doctor has advised otherwise
Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless a doctor has assessed that the benefits outweigh the risks compared with continued smoking
Severe skin conditions affecting the patch application sites

Drug / Food Interactions

Nicotine can affect how quickly the body processes certain medicines when a person stops smoking, including some medicines for asthma, depression, and heart conditions, so dosage of these may need review
Theophylline, clozapine, and other medicines broken down via the same liver pathway affected by smoking may reach higher blood levels after quitting, and doses may need adjustment by a doctor
Avoid combining with other nicotine replacement products or cigarettes at the same time unless directed by a doctor or pharmacist (to avoid excess nicotine intake)
Caffeine and alcohol intake may need monitoring, as smoking cessation itself can change how the body handles them

Quick Tips

This is the final and lowest-strength step – use it to taper off nicotine replacement completely
Continue rotating the application site daily until you finish the program
Prepare a plan for managing cravings without any nicotine replacement once Step 3 is completed
Do not extend Step 3 use indefinitely without pharmacist advice; the goal is to stop nicotine replacement after this step
Reach out to a pharmacist or quit-smoking support service if cravings remain strong as you finish the programme
Celebrate progress – completing all three steps significantly improves your chances of staying smoke-free

Relevant Information

Step 3 (10mg/16h) is the final and lowest-strength stage of the Nicorette programme, used to taper nicotine intake down to zero after completing Step 2, or as a starting dose for lighter smokers as advised by a pharmacist. Completing this final step as directed, rather than stopping the programme early or continuing patches beyond the recommended duration, supports the best long-term chance of remaining smoke-free.
