Nicorette Invisipatch 10mg patches are Step 3 in a 12 week nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) programme. They are a once daily patch used to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings for nicotine that you get when you try to stop smoking. They are also suitable for use with the Nicorette Gum or Inhaler to reduce cravings.
When you apply a Nicorette Invisipatch to the skin, nicotine is released gradually over 16 hours and passes into your body through the skin relieving the unpleasant nicotine withdrawal symptoms and your cravings to smoke.
For smokers of more than 20 a day:
STEP 1: Begin treatment with the highest strength Nicorette Invisipatch 25mg the day after you stop smoking completely. Use a new Nicorette Invisipatch 25mg each day for eight weeks.
STEP 2: If you are successful and avoid smoking during this eight-week period, you should then begin to reduce the amount of nicotine you are getting by switching to a lower strength patch. Now use the Nicorette Invisipatch 15mg each day for two weeks.
STEP 3: If you are successful and avoid smoking over this two-week period, then switch to the lowest strength Nicorette Invisipatch 10mg each day for a further two weeks.
For smokers of less than 20 a day:
1. Apply one new Nicorette Invisipatch 15mg to the skin when you wake.Do this for the first eight weeks.
2. Apply one new Nicorette Invisipatch 10mg to the skin when you wake. Do this for the next four weeks.
