What is
Nicoderm
?

Nicoderm is a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), which provides your body with less nicotine than cigarettes, while giving it enough to reduce the severity of both cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

In turn, it can be much easier to stop smoking using Nicoderm, compared to quitting ‘cold turkey’ (with no assistance).

There are a number of different types of NRT. To clarify, this page will focus specifically on Nicoderm nicotine patches in Canada.

How does
Nicoderm
work?

Nicoderm nicotine patches work by slowly releasing nicotine into your bloodstream through your skin.

The amount of nicotine is often enough to reduce the severity of your nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings for cigarettes, while still being less than you would take in while smoking.

There are currently 3 types of Nicoderm nicotine patches in Canada:

  • Step 1 - 21 mg nicotine patches
  • Step 2 - 14 mg nicotine patches
  • Step 3 - 7 mg nicotine patches

SIDE NOTE: Not every person will start at Step 1, when they begin treatment. For example, Nicoderm recommends starting treatment at Step 2, if you’re not a heavy smoker.

All of these patches contain the same ingredients and function the same way, but there is progressively less nicotine in the treatment, as you move through the steps.

Eventually, this should help make it easier to stop smoking. Nicoderm also notes that you may combine patches with other forms of NRTs (i.e., lozenges, gum, etc.), if the nicotine patches alone aren’t controlling your cravings.

How do you take
Nicoderm
?

Using Nicoderm nicotine patches is easy. Just remove a single Nicoderm patch from your package and clean the area of skin where you’d like to apply the patch with soap and water. Make sure to dry thoroughly afterwards.

Remove the adhesive layer from the back of the patch, and be sure to avoid touching that side until you’re applying it.

Apply the adhesive side directly to your chosen area (i.e., arm, leg, shoulder) and press firmly to ensure it sticks.

Each Nicoderm nicotine patch is designed for 24-hour usage, so you should avoid removing the patch before this period is completed. You won’t be able to reapply the patch after it has been removed.

NEVER use more than one Nicoderm patch at a time. This could cause symptoms of overdose, or exaggerate other negative side effects.

How long does
Nicoderm
last after you take it?

What are the common side effects of
Nicoderm
?

Most people using Nicoderm nicotine patches won’t experience any kind of negative side effects, but some of the most commonly appearing side effects of Nicoderm include:

  • Minor skin irritation
  • Headaches
  • Light-headedness
  • Insomnia
  • Upset stomach
  • Vivid dreams

These side effects of Nicoderm are normal and may pass once your body adjusts to the nicotine patches. If they become severe, be sure to talk to your practitioner about it.

The side effects of a Nicoderm overdose or excessively high dose of nicotine could include:

  • Severe headaches
  • Nausea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Drooling
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Cold sweats
  • Blurred vision
  • Difficulty hearing
  • Mental confusion
  • Weakness
  • Fainting
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Low blood pressure
  • Weak/irregular pulse
  • Extreme exhaustion
  • Circulatory collapse
  • Convulsions

If you start to experience ANY of these more severe symptoms, remove your Nicoderm patch and seek immediate medical attention.

Who shouldn't take
Nicoderm
?

Nicoderm patches aren’t meant for anyone under the age of 18. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding shouldn’t use Nicoderm nicotine patches, as it could harm the baby.

Nicoderm nicotine patches aren’t meant to be used by non-smokers, or those who are only occasional smokers.

You should also avoid using Nicoderm if you have any generalized skin disorders (i.e., rashes, eczema, dermatitis, etc.), or if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients in Nicoderm.

Frequently asked questions

Felix 101

What is Felix?

Felix is Canada’s first truly integrated healthcare platform. We provide on-demand treatment for everyday health needs like weight loss, mental health, sexual health, and more. Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a prescription to certain medications but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a prescription lifestyle medication safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about the medications you are currently using.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We've worked with specialist to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please email hello@felixforyou.ca and we’ll look into it.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Please email our Customer Support team at hello@felixforyou.ca and they will be able to assist you with the transfer.

Privacy and Security

Is my information private and secure?

Yes, your security is paramount to Felix’s mission. Personal health information provided during your medical assessment is strictly and legally confidential between you and the Felix healthcare practitioner.

Beyond that, all your account information (including the medical assessment, credit card, and shipping information, etc.) is also stored safely and securely. Felix is compliant with all federal and provincial health privacy legislation. It is our duty to protect your data with comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies to ensure it stays private and secure.

Read more on our Privacy Policy.

Is this legal?

Yes! In Canada, only a licensed healthcare practitioner can write a prescription, and only a registered pharmacist can fill that prescription. We are supported by leaders in the Canadian pharmacology and specialized medical fields. Felix adheres strictly to all the regulations set forth by all applicable Colleges of Pharmacists and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in which we operate.

Is this safe?

Absolutely. All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners—the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic. These practitioners do not provide prescriptions unless they deem it medically safe and appropriate to write them based on your medical profile and assessment answers. Our assessments have been crafted by the practitioners on our medical team. Finally, all Felix Pharmacies are provincially accredited just like any retail pharmacy.

How is my privacy protected?

Your privacy is our top priority. All your data is 256 bit SSL/TLS encrypted, and we take significant steps to keep your data secure. You can read our Privacy Policy for more information. 

Shipping

How long will it take to get my treatment?

Not long. After completing your assessment, a practitioner will generally respond within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

Treatment plans will be processed within 2-3 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages are shipped via Express Post, which usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

Is your packaging discreet?

Absolutely. All Felix shipments arrive in a nondescript blister package so you can have your treatment shipped wherever makes sense for you as long as there is someone there to sign for it.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How much does it cost to ship my treatment?

There is currently no cost to have your treatment shipped to you from our Felix Pharmacy network.

What courier do you use for shipping?

Our pharmacy partners use Canada Post and/or Purolator for shipping.

Pricing and Payment

How much is the online visit?

Felix charges a fee for the online visit. In most cases the fee is $40 but varies by treatment category. The visit fee includes a prescription valid for up to a year (depending on the condition) and on-going support from the healthcare practitioner or pharmacist.

How much will my treatment cost?

It depends. Treatment costs vary but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your treatment before insurance, during the online visit but will only be charged once approved. Once approved, your treatment and payment will be processed within one to two days.

Keep in mind that you won’t necessarily need to pay the full price yourself. If you have insurance, Felix’s partner pharmacies will bill your insurer directly. You may also be eligible for financial support in your province.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support

Insurance

Am I covered by my insurance?

Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.

The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.

Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn't include the cost of your visit.

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

A Felix online visit is considered asynchronous since it is conveniently completed through a secure chat bases system. Currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans so you will be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility. For private insurance, we recommend contacting your benefits administrator with your details and the Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the drug name to determine your coverage.

Make sure to upload your Ontario health card during your online visit so our pharmacy partners can apply your coverage directly.
