Overview

Nicorette 15mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 2) contains Nicotine 15 mg per patch, delivering approximately 15 mg over 16 hours and is presented as a patch. It is supplied in a pack size of 7s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with 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 2 (15mg/16h) is typically used for around 2 weeks after completing Step 1, or as the starting strength for moderate smokers advised to begin directly at this dose by a pharmacist, before progressing to the Step 3 (10mg/16h) patch.

Dosage

Apply one 15mg/16h patch daily, worn for 16 hours and then removed, typically for about 2 weeks as the middle stage of the step-down program, following completion of the Step 1 (25mg/16h) patch or as directed by a pharmacist. Use only one patch at a time and follow the recommended step duration to gradually reduce nicotine dependence.

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

  • Continue to rotate the application site daily to minimise skin irritation
  • Move to Step 2 only after completing the recommended duration of Step 1, or as advised by a pharmacist
  • Keep track of cravings and withdrawal symptoms as your body adjusts to a lower nicotine dose
  • Do not go back to a higher-strength patch or smoke cigarettes alongside the patch without pharmacist advice
  • Stay engaged with any quit-smoking support programme or counselling you have started
  • Plan your transition to Step 3 in advance so the step-down continues smoothly

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.

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 15mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 2) 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 15mg/16h Transdermal Patch (Step 2) 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.

Relevant Information

Step 2 (15mg/16h) is the middle stage of the Nicorette 3-step programme, used either after completing Step 1 or as a starting dose for moderate smokers as advised by a pharmacist. Staying on schedule with the step-down programme, rather than remaining on one strength indefinitely, gives the best chance of successfully stopping nicotine use altogether.
