Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Invisipatch used for?+
Nicorette Invisipatch is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement product designed to help adult smokers quit by delivering a steady dose of nicotine through the skin, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms during a quit attempt.
How does nicotine work in the Invisipatch?+
The patch releases nicotine that is absorbed transdermally into the bloodstream, where it binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This mimics the effect of cigarette‑derived nicotine, easing withdrawal while allowing a gradual reduction in nicotine exposure.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Invisipatch?+
The appropriate patch strength and duration are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and previous quit attempts. The prescriber selects the regimen that best supports a step‑down approach.
Is Nicorette Invisipatch safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nicotine patches in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and alternatives with their healthcare provider before using the product.

How does Nicorette Invisipatch compare with other nicotine replacement options?+

What are the storage and handling requirements for Nicorette Invisipatch?+
Store the patches at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original sealed pouch. Keep them away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain adhesive integrity and nicotine stability.

What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Invisipatch?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions, extensive skin rash, cardiovascular events such as chest pain or arrhythmia, and significant hypotension. Users should seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use Nicorette Invisipatch?+
The patch should not be used by non‑smokers, occasional smokers, individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or patch components, or patients with severe uncontrolled cardiovascular disease without medical supervision.
