Special Import - Nicorette Invisipatch 25 mg Step 1 - 7 Patches

Nicorette Invisipatch 25 mg Step 1 Special Import 7 Patches AllDay Nicotine Support

Description:

Nicorette Invisipatch 25 mg Step 1 is a transdermal nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) medicine designed to support adults who are highly dependent on nicotine and want to stop smoking. Each discreet, skin-coloured patch delivers a controlled dose of nicotine over 16–24 hours (exact wear time depends on local product leaflet; specific duration information is not available here) to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cigarette cravings throughout the day. This Step 1 25 mg strength is typically used as the initial phase for heavy smokers as part of a structured smoking cessation program, often followed by lower-strength patches (Step 2 and Step 3). It is a special import presentation containing 7 patches, providing up to one week of all-day nicotine support when used as directed.

Indications:

• Aid to smoking cessation in adults who are motivated to quit smoking.
• Helps manage nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and increased appetite associated with quitting smoking.
• Reduces the intensity and frequency of cigarette cravings during the day.
• May be used as part of a comprehensive smoking cessation program including behavioral support and counseling.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nicotine – 25 mg per transdermal patch (delivered gradually over the wear period; exact hourly delivery rate is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).
• Other patch components (adhesive matrix, backing film, stabilizers, and excipients) are present to ensure controlled nicotine release and skin adhesion; detailed excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Recommended users: Adults (18 years and older) who smoke and wish to stop. Not recommended for non-smokers or occasional smokers.
• Typical dose (Step 1): Apply one Nicorette Invisipatch 25 mg patch once daily to clean, dry, hairless, and intact skin on the upper body or upper outer arm. Only one patch should be worn at a time.
• Application:
  • Remove the patch from its sachet and peel off the protective liner.
  • Apply the adhesive side firmly to the skin, pressing with the palm of the hand for about 10–20 seconds to ensure good contact, especially around the edges.
  • Apply to a different skin site each day to reduce the risk of skin irritation. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or oily skin.
• Wear time: The patch is designed for all-day use to provide continuous nicotine support. Typical wear duration for Nicorette patches is 16–24 hours depending on the specific product instructions; the exact recommended wear time for this special import presentation is not available here and must be confirmed from the package leaflet.
• Treatment duration: Step 1 (25 mg) is usually used as the first phase for heavy smokers (e.g., those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day), followed by Step 2 and Step 3 lower strengths to gradually reduce nicotine dose. Total treatment duration is commonly 8–12 weeks, but the exact schedule should follow the official product leaflet or your doctor’s advice.
• With or without food: Food intake does not affect patch use as nicotine is delivered through the skin.
• Missed dose: If you forget to apply a new patch at the usual time, apply one as soon as you remember and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra patches to make up for a missed dose.
• Do not: Cut the patch, apply more than one patch at a time, or use together with other nicotine-containing products unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides steady, controlled nicotine delivery throughout the day to help reduce withdrawal symptoms when quitting smoking.
• Helps decrease the urge to smoke and the frequency of cravings, improving the chances of successful smoking cessation.
• Transdermal delivery avoids peaks and troughs of nicotine levels associated with cigarettes, which may help reduce reinforcing effects of smoking.
• Discreet, invisible-style patch design (Invisipatch) allows convenient all-day use under clothing without drawing attention.
• Supports a structured step-down approach to quitting by starting with Step 1 (25 mg) for heavy smokers before moving to lower strengths.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use: If you are a non-smoker, occasional smoker, or allergic (hypersensitive) to nicotine or any component of the patch.
• Cardiovascular disease: Use with caution and only under medical supervision if you have recent heart attack, severe arrhythmias, unstable angina, stroke, or other serious heart or circulatory problems.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Nicotine can harm the fetus or nursing infant. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use nicotine replacement therapy if advised by a doctor and if the benefit of quitting smoking outweighs the risk of continued nicotine exposure. In some cases, non-pharmacological methods (counseling, support programs) may be preferred.
• Other medical conditions: Consult your doctor before use if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, severe kidney or liver disease, gastrointestinal ulcers, esophagitis, or skin disorders (e.g., eczema, psoriasis) that may be worsened by patch use.
• Children and adolescents: Not intended for use in children. Nicotine can be highly toxic to children; patches must be kept out of their reach at all times.
