Hey folks,

My GF started using Nicorette patches around the new year and is still on them though she seems to be getting massive hair shedding. Just wondering is it the result of the use of patches etc?. Has anyone else experienced this?. I used the patches myself and never had that problem.

Did a bit of searching on the web and all I can find is a side effects database on
Askpatient.com.Ask Patient Database . Quite a few posts about hair loss in it..

Naturally she is a bit worried about it, is it safe to say that it could be due to smoking cessation?.

Cheers...
