{"product_id":"nicorette-invisi-patch-10mg","title":"Nicorette Invisi Patch 10mg - 7 Patches","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNicorette Invisi Patch 10mg – discreet, all-day craving control\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow nicotine patches help you stop smoking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicotine 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs the 10mg strength right for me?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicorette 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use the Invisi Patch\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCombining with a fast-acting NRT\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting the most from your quit attempt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eImportant information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not smoke while using this patch. Keep out of the sight and reach of children and pets, as the nicotine in these patches can be harmful to them – dispose of used patches carefully by folding the sticky sides together. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to try to stop smoking without medicines, but if NRT helps it is preferable to continuing to smoke; speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist first, and note that patches are often removed at night. 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. This product is for adults – check the pack for the minimum age – and is not for non-smokers or children. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicorette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730169536899,"sku":"3403110","price":9.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/715OBBKLuOL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1786365301","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/nicorette-invisi-patch-10mg","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
