NicoDerm CQ Clear Patch Step 1 is a nicotine transdermal system designed to help people quit smoking. Each clear patch delivers 21 mg of nicotine continuously over 24 hours through the skin using Extended Release SmartControl Technology, providing steady, all-day craving relief. This Costco pack includes 21 patches, equivalent to a 3-week supply, making it a convenient value for those beginning their quit journey.

Step 1 is intended for smokers who consume more than 10 cigarettes per day. As part of a 10-week stop-smoking program, users wear one Step 1 patch daily for the first 6 weeks, then step down to 14 mg (Step 2) for weeks 7–8, and 7 mg (Step 3) for weeks 9–10. The clear, discreet patch can be worn under clothing and may be used for 16 or 24 hours depending on individual preference.

To use, apply one patch daily to a dry, clean, hairless area of skin, pressing firmly for 10 seconds. Rotate application sites each day. Wash hands after applying or removing. Do not wear more than one patch at a time or cut the patch. Patches should be disposed of by folding sticky ends together, replacing in the fouch, and discarding safely away from children and pets, as used patches retain enough nicotine to be hazardous.

Consult a doctor before use if you have heart disease, recent heart attack, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, skin conditions, stomach ulcer, diabetes, or a history of seizures. Not recommended for those under 18 without physician guidance. If pregnant or breastfeeding, use only on the advice of a healthcare provider. Stop use and seek medical attention if skin irritation persists beyond four days, irregular heartbeat occurs, or signs of nicotine overdose appear (nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat).
