What is the NicoDerm CQ Patch and How is it Used? NicoDerm CQ is a small, nicotine-containing patch. When you put on a NicoDerm CQ patch, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. NicoDerm CQ is very thin and uses special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike the sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 16 or 24 hour period you wear the NicoDerm CQ patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine. Weeks 1-6: Step 1: Use one 21 mg patch/day. Weeks 7-8: Step 2: Use one 14 mg patch/day. Weeks 9-10: Step 3: Use one 7 mg patch/day.
