Nicorette Invisi 15mg/16hours Patches

Nicorette Invisi Patches are transparent, discreet nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches worn on the skin for 16 hours during waking hours. They provide a steady supply of nicotine through the skin to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Available in three strengths: 25 mg (Step 1, heavy smokers — 20+ cigarettes/day), 15 mg (Step 2), and 10 mg (Step 3). The 16-hour wear time means you remove the patch at bedtime, which may help reduce sleep disturbance compared to 24-hour patches. Available through the NHS Quit Smoking service.

Apply one patch to clean, dry, hairless skin on the hip, upper arm, or chest each morning. Press firmly for 10–15 seconds. Remove at bedtime (16-hour use). Step-down schedule: Step 1 (25 mg) for 8 weeks, Step 2 (15 mg) for 2 weeks, Step 3 (10 mg) for 2 weeks — total 12 weeks. If you smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes per day, you may start at Step 2. Rotate application sites daily to reduce skin irritation. Do not cut the patches.

Yes, all three strengths of Nicorette Invisi Patches (10 mg, 15 mg, 25 mg) are available through the NHS Quit Smoking service. Your pharmacist will recommend the right starting strength based on how many cigarettes you smoke per day.

Common side effects include skin irritation, itching, or redness at the application site (rotate sites daily to minimise this). Headache, dizziness, nausea, and sleep disturbance may occur. The 16-hour patches are generally associated with less sleep disturbance than 24-hour patches because they are removed at night. If significant skin reactions occur, try a different application site or discuss with your pharmacist.
