Nicorette Invisipatch is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings when quitting or reducing smoking. While it’s most effective when used to replace all cigarettes, it can also assist in gradually cutting down smoking or managing situations where smoking isn’t permitted, such as on airplanes or at work, to protect others and extend periods between cigarettes.

When you quit smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes you consume, your body craves nicotine, leading to unpleasant sensations and strong urges to smoke. These cravings signify nicotine dependence. Nicorette patches alleviate withdrawal symptoms by releasing nicotine through the skin, effectively reducing cravings without providing the typical ‘buzz’ associated with smoking.
Nicorette Invisipatches offer varying strengths to cater to individual needs in quitting smoking or cutting down on cigarettes . Nicorette Invisipatch 25mg delivers 25 milligrams of nicotine over a span of 16 hours, providing a higher dosage for individuals with more intense cravings or heavier smoking habits. The Nicorette 15mg patch releases 15 milligrams of nicotine over the same duration, offering a moderate level of nicotine to help alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. For those requiring a lower dosage, the Nicorette10 mg patch administers 10 milligrams of nicotine over 16 hours, aiding in gradually reducing nicotine dependence and managing cravings effectively.
Before applying your Nicorette Invisipatch, select a clean, dry area of hairless skin on the front or side of the chest, upper arm, or hip, ensuring to avoid red, cut, or irritated skin. Refrain from applying oil or talcum powder beforehand to ensure proper adhesion. Rotate application sites daily to prevent skin irritation. To apply the patch, wash your hands and open the child-resistant sachet containing the patch using scissors. Peel off one part of the silvery aluminium backing, avoiding touching the sticky surface. Carefully apply the sticky part to the chosen skin area, then remove the remaining backing. Press firmly onto the skin with your palm or fingertips, ensuring secure adhesion.
As with any medication, Nicorette Invisipatch may result in side effects, many of which are associated with nicotine intake, like those experienced when smoking. Effects linked to quitting smoking, or nicotine withdrawal, may occur due to reduced nicotine intake upon cessation or insufficient use of the patch. These effects encompass irritability, mood changes, anxiety, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, cravings, sleep disturbances, lowered heart rate, dizziness, nausea, coughing, constipation, gum bleeding, mouth ulcers, and nasal and throat swelling. Overuse of nicotine, particularly for non-smokers, may induce symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Initial use of the Nicorette invisi patch may cause mild skin reactions, typically presenting as redness or itching, which typically resolves within days. However, persistent, or severe skin reactions warrant discontinuation and consultation with a healthcare professional. For the full list of side effects please refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.
It’s important to remove the patch before bedtime as Nicorette Invisipatch is not intended for overnight wear or for durations exceeding 16 hours daily. After removal, fold the patch in half with the sticky side inward and place it inside the opened sachet or wrap it in aluminium foil. Dispose of the used patch carefully in household waste, ensuring it’s out of reach of children and pets.
