What is the best body location for nicotine transdermal patch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any location ok: There is a gel in the patch that dilates your blood vessels to help you absorb nicotine through your skin. Your body will absorb nicotine through the skin from any location on your body. Most people choose to use their upper arms because it its convenient.. Remember to use a different site each day for each new patch to limit the risk of skin irritation.
