How Nicorette® InvisiPatch works
When you stop smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke, your body starts to miss the nicotine. You might experience cravings in the first few weeks or sudden urges to smoke over a period of months.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products like Nicorette® InvisiPatch help protect you from day to day cravings.
When applied, the InvisiPatch nicotine patch releases a reduced level of nicotine through the skin and into your body, helping to relieve cravings. The patch doesn't contain the same toxic chemicals found in cigarettes. You won't feel the same buzz you get from smoking, but you should notice you crave cigarettes less.
And it doesn't just fight cravings. The Nicorette® InvisiPatch can also help prevent other nicotine withdrawal symptoms, such as:
Irritability
Low mood
Restlessness
Anxiety
Poor concentration
Increased appetite.
How to use Nicorette® InvisiPatch
First things first, you need to pick the right nicotine patch strength for you to start on:
Step 1 - Nicorette® Invisi 25mg Patch - Start here if you smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day.
Step 2 - Nicorette® Invisi 15mg Patch - Start here if you smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day. You should also progress to this step if you've been on Step 1 for 8 weeks.
Step 3 - Nicorette® Invisi 10mg Patch - Once you've completed Step 2, you can reduce your patch strength to 10mg for the final 2-4 weeks (depending on your quit plan).
Once you ve chosen the right patch, you can start wearing it. Here's a step-by step guide on how and where to apply the patch correctly:
The best place to put your InvisiPatch is on your upper arm, hip, or front or side of your chest - and you should alternate the area each day.
Make sure the area is clean and dry before you apply the patch. You should also wash your hands.
Cut along the edge of the child - resistant sachet to remove the patch.
Peel away one part of the sliver backing foil to reveal a sticky surface - try not to touch this with your fingers.
Carefully apply the sticky side to your chosen area, then peel off the remaining half of backing foil.
Press the patch onto your skin with the palm of your hand or fingertips.
Run your fingers around the edge of the patch to make sure it s secure.
After 16 hours of wear, remove the patch and fold it in half, so the sticky sides come together. Place it back in the sachet or a piece of foil, then dispose of it in your household rubbish - out of reach of children and pets.
Whether you plan to start at Step 1 or Step 2, you should aim to stop using the patches within 12 weeks.

Nicotine patches work to gradually reduce your body’s addiction to nicotine by relieving cravings and other withdrawal symptoms. They provide your body with a low dose of nicotine while avoiding chemicals such as carbon monoxide, tar, lead and ammonia that you would take in when smoking a cigarette.
A nicotine patch is a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It‘s a small and transparent patch that you wear on your skin like a plaster. The nicotine is then absorbed through your skin to help relieve cravings.

Nicorette Invisi 25mg patch is used to relieve and/or prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings you get when you try to stop smoking or when cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke.
It provides a safer alternative to smoking for both the individual and those around them. Ideally you should aim to stop smoking.
However it can be used in a number of different ways, either to completely replace all your cigarettes, or if you do not feel ready to stop smoking completely, to replace certain cigarettes and therefore help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke. It may also help increase your motivation to quit.
