Nicorette Invisi Patch 25mg x 14 Patches

Nicorette Invisi 25mg Patch (Extra Strength) is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patch that helps relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms while you stop smoking. You apply one patch in the morning and nicotine is released through your skin over 16 hours. The patch is beige and semi-transparent, and you remove it before bed.

Why choose Nicorette Invisi 25mg?

• Helps relieve nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• Worn for 16 hours, on in the morning and off at bedtime
• 25mg step 1 strength for heavier smokers
• Part of a step-down course to help you gradually reduce nicotine

Which strength do I need?

The 25mg patch is the highest strength and is intended for smokers of more than 10 cigarettes a day. If you smoke fewer than 10 a day, the course normally begins with the 15mg patch instead. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure.

How to use

For adults aged 18 and over. Always follow the patient information leaflet in the pack.

1. Choose a clean, dry, hairless area of skin on the front or side of the chest, upper arm or hip. Avoid skin that is red, cut or irritated, and do not use oil or talcum powder on it first.
2. Wash your hands, open the sachet and peel away half of the backing. Avoid touching the sticky surface.
3. Apply the patch, peel off the rest of the backing, and press it firmly in place with your palm for a few seconds. Run your fingers around the edge.
4. Wear it for 16 hours, then remove it before bed. Do not wear it while you sleep.
5. Fold the used patch in half, sticky side inwards, and put it in the opened sachet or in foil. Dispose of it carefully, out of reach of children and animals.

Apply a new patch each morning to a different area, and do not use the same spot on two days in a row. Do not use more than one patch at a time. If a patch comes off while swimming, bathing or showering, you can replace it with a new one. Remove the patch before an MRI scan.

The step-down course

Stop smoking completely and start the course the day after your last cigarette. Aim to finish within about 12 weeks.

• Heavier smokers (more than 10 cigarettes a day): 25mg patch for 8 weeks, then 15mg for 2 weeks, then 10mg for 2 weeks.
• Lighter smokers (fewer than 10 cigarettes a day): 15mg patch for 8 weeks, then 10mg for 4 weeks.

The 15mg and 10mg patches are separate products. Adults should not use the patches for longer than 6 months in total without advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

Who should not use this product

Not for non-smokers, anyone under 18, or anyone allergic to nicotine or any ingredient. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a baby, or if you have heart disease, a recent stroke, high blood pressure, poor circulation, liver or kidney disease, an overactive thyroid, diabetes, a stomach ulcer or oesophagitis, a history of epilepsy or seizures, or a skin condition such as psoriasis, eczema or hives covering a large area.

Stopping smoking can change how some medicines work, including theophylline, clozapine, olanzapine and ropinirole. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you take, and ask before using other nicotine products with the patch.
