Safety information 7
Contains nicotine – keep away from children & pets
The nicotine in these patches can be harmful, even in small amounts, to children and pets. Store out of the sight and reach of children and animals, and dispose of used patches by folding the sticky sides together before binning them.
Do not smoke while using this patch
NRT replaces the nicotine from cigarettes, so you should not smoke while wearing it. If you do slip up, keep using the patch and carry on with your quit, because NRT is far safer than smoking.
Pregnancy & breastfeeding – get advice first
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding it is best to try to stop without medicines, but if NRT helps it is preferable to continuing to smoke. Speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist first; patches are often removed at night.
Check with a pharmacist if you have a medical condition
Ask a pharmacist or doctor before use if you have recently had a heart attack or stroke, have unstable angina or an irregular heartbeat, diabetes, an overactive thyroid, phaeochromocytoma, a stomach ulcer, or liver or kidney problems.
For adult smokers only
This product is intended for adults trying to quit – check the pack for the minimum age. It is not for non-smokers or children.
Rotate the site to protect your skin
Apply to clean, dry, non-hairy skin and use a different spot each day. Do not use the same area two days running, and stop use if you get a severe or lasting skin reaction.
Do not cut the patch
Cutting a patch stops it delivering the correct steady dose. To reduce your dose, step down to a lower-strength patch instead.

Product overview

Nicorette Invisi Patch 10mg – discreet, all-day craving control

The Nicorette Invisi Patch is a clear, thin patch that sits almost invisibly against the skin, so you can wear it discreetly under clothing wherever you go. Each patch releases a steady, controlled amount of nicotine through the skin for 16 hours, helping keep background cravings under control from the moment you wake until the evening. As a 16-hour patch, it is worn during your waking hours and taken off before bed. This pack contains 7 patches – a one-week supply at one patch a day – in the 10mg strength, the lower, step-down strength in the Nicorette Invisi range.

How nicotine patches help you stop smoking

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) makes stopping smoking easier by relieving the cravings and withdrawal symptoms – such as irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, low mood, disturbed sleep and increased appetite – that so often lead people back to cigarettes. The patch gives you a controlled, lower dose of nicotine without the tar, carbon monoxide and other harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. Unlike a fast-acting gum, lozenge or spray, it works slowly and steadily, smoothing out the peaks and troughs that trigger the urge to smoke. It does not make smoking safe and is not a treatment for smoking-related illness; its role is to take the edge off withdrawal so you can break the habit for good.

Is the 10mg strength right for me?

Nicorette Invisi patches come in three step-down strengths – 25mg, 15mg and 10mg. Many people who smoke more heavily begin on the 25mg patch, move down to 15mg, and finish on 10mg before stopping altogether. The 10mg patch is therefore well suited to lighter smokers, or to anyone who has already stepped down through the higher strengths and is coming towards the end of their quit programme. If you are unsure which strength to start on, a pharmacist can help you match it to how much you currently smoke.

How to use the Invisi Patch

Apply one patch a day to clean, dry, non-hairy skin on the hip, upper arm or chest, pressing it firmly in place for about 10 seconds. Each morning, remove the old patch and apply a fresh one to a different area of skin – rotating the site helps reduce the risk of skin irritation, so avoid using the same spot two days running. Wash your hands after applying, and because this is a 16-hour patch, remove it at bedtime. Always read the patient information leaflet before use and follow the recommended programme length.

Combining with a fast-acting NRT

Some people still get sudden, breakthrough cravings even while wearing a patch. If that sounds like you, the steady background cover of the patch can be combined with a fast-acting form of NRT – such as gum, a lozenge, an inhalator or a mouth spray – used as and when a craving strikes. This combination approach helps many people who find a patch alone isn't quite enough, and a pharmacist can advise on whether it is right for you.

Getting the most from your quit attempt

You are far more likely to stop for good if you combine NRT with behavioural support. Your local NHS Stop Smoking Service and your pharmacist can offer free, friendly advice and encouragement throughout your quit. If you slip up and have a cigarette, don't give up – keep using your patches and keep going, because NRT is far safer than continuing to smoke.
