Description
Nicorette Invisi Patches is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It 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.
When you stop smoking, or cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke, your body misses the nicotine that you have been absorbing. You may experience unpleasant feelings and a strong desire to smoke (craving). This indicates that you were dependent on nicotine. When you apply a Nicorette Invisi Patch to the skin nicotine is released and passes into your body through the skin. The nicotine released is sufficient to relieve the unpleasant nicotine withdrawal symptoms. It will also help to stop your craving to smoke, but will not give you the ’’buzz’’ you get from smoking a cigarette.
Use of NRT is safer than smoking tobacco but as soon as you are ready, you should aim to stop smoking completely.
Suitable for
It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over.
How to use
Do not give this product to children under 12 years.
Adults and children 12 years and over:
- Apply one new patch (of appropriate strength) to the skin when you wake up (usually in the morning).
- Remove 16 hours later which is usually at bed time.
- Do not use more than one patch at a time.
- If you lose a patch whilst swimming, bathing or showering you can replace it with another patch.
- Dispose of the patches carefully after you have removed, ensuring they are out of the reach of children and pets.
How to apply the patch:
- Wash your hands before applying the patch.
- Each Nicorette Invisi Patch comes in a child resistant sachet which can be opened by cutting along the edge with a pair of scissors.
- Remove the patch from its sachet and then peel one part of the silvery aluminium backing away. Avoid touching the sticky surface of the patch with your fingers.
- Carefully apply the sticky part of the patch to the chosen area of skin and then peel off the remaining half of the silvery aluminium backing foil.
- Press the patch firmly onto the skin with your palm or finger tips.
- Run your fingers around the edge to ensure it sticks firmly.
Removing and disposing of the patch:
- The patch should be removed before you go to bed as Nicorette Invisi Patch is not designed to be worn when you go to sleep at night or for more than 16 hours each day.
- After removal, the patch should be folded in half, sticky side inwards and placed inside the opened sachet or a piece of aluminium foil.
- The patch should then be disposed of carefully in the household rubbish, out of reach of children and animals.
DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED DOSE.
Hazards and Cautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, are taking any other medication or complementary therapy, or if symptoms persist.
Seek advice before using if you are breast feeding, pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suffer from allergies. You should try to give up smoking without NRT. Stopping completely is by far the best option. The earlier and quicker you do this the better it is for you and your baby. If you can’t manage this, you can use NRT as a safer alternative to smoking as the risks to your baby are far less than smoking, however you should talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice.
