What Causes Arm Pain After Getting Nicoderm Cq Patch Placement?
I have been using the Nicoderm Cq patch for three days now and the arm I place it on just starts hurting like there s a deep bruise, also half an hour later after placement I got really dizzy and felt way out of sorts but that didn t happen the two days prior.
- It is possible that you are having a skin reaction to the patch - The dizziness may be due to the nicotine release. It may take some time for this to normalize - If you continue to have the same reaction to the patch, consider switching to nicotine gum or lozenges
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan, General & Family Physician
