Before using Niquitin Clear, consider the following safety measures. - Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate heart disease or hypertension before initiation. - Lowest effective dose: start with the smallest patch strength appropriate for the individual. - Non‑smoker use: avoid use in individuals who have never smoked nicotine. - Application site: do not apply to damaged, irritated, or hairy skin. - Heat exposure: keep patches away from external heat sources such as heating pads. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Nicotine patches can interact with other substances that affect cardiovascular function or nicotine metabolism.
