Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Nicorette Invisipatch is a nicotine replacement therapy used to support quitting tobacco by delivering steady nicotine levels.
  • Smoking cessation: helps adult smokers quit by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
  • Nicotine dependence: provides a controlled nicotine dose to facilitate gradual reduction.
  • Relapse prevention: supports individuals who have recently stopped smoking to maintain abstinence.

How It Works

  • Nicotine in the patch penetrates the skin and enters systemic circulation, where it binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This activation partially mimics the effects of smoking, decreasing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, allowing the user to taper nicotine exposure over time and ultimately break the dependence cycle.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Skin irritation at the application site
  • Sleep disturbance or vivid dreams
  • Nausea or upset stomach
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Mild sweating

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic skin reaction (rash, swelling)
  • Severe hypertension or tachycardia
  • Chest pain or arrhythmia
  • Seizures (rare)
  • Respiratory difficulty

Precautions & Warnings

  • Precautions should be taken to minimise risks associated with nicotine exposure.
  • Assess cardiovascular status: patients with recent myocardial infarction or uncontrolled hypertension should seek medical advice before use.
  • Avoid use in non‑smokers: nicotine is addictive and not indicated for nicotine‑naïve individuals.
  • Do not use while pregnant: safety has not been established; discuss with a healthcare professional.
  • Do not use while breastfeeding: nicotine may be transferred to the infant.
  • Do not apply to damaged or irritated skin: may increase systemic absorption.
  • Store at room temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original pouch, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Nicotine patches can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to dosing and monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): may increase risk of hypertensive crisis.
  • Certain antidepressants (e.g., bupropion): may raise seizure risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • CYP2A6 inhibitors (e.g., cimetidine): may elevate nicotine plasma levels.
  • Alcohol: can enhance nicotine's cardiovascular effects.
  • Concurrent nicotine replacement products: risk of nicotine overdose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nicorette Invisipatch is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit by delivering a steady dose of nicotine through the skin, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms during a smoking‑cessation program.

The nicotine in the patch is absorbed transdermally and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This partial stimulation eases withdrawal, lessens cravings, and allows the user to gradually lower nicotine exposure, supporting a step‑down approach to quitting smoking.

The appropriate patch strength and duration are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s smoking habits, previous quit attempts, and health status. The prescriber selects the specific product that matches the patient’s needs.

Safety data for nicotine patches in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare professionals generally advise against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless the potential benefit outweighs the risk, and alternative cessation methods should be considered.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with gum, lozenges or inhalers, the patch offers continuous nicotine delivery over 16–24 hours, which can improve adherence and reduce the frequency of dosing. However, individual response varies, and some users may prefer short‑acting forms for flexible dosing.

Store the patches at room temperature, below 25 °C, in their original sealed pouch. Keep them away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not expose the patches to temperatures above the recommended range, as this may affect nicotine stability.

The patch is applied to clean, dry, hair‑free skin on the upper arm, chest, or back. Press firmly for several seconds to ensure good contact, then replace it according to the prescriber’s schedule, typically every 16–24 hours, rotating sites to avoid skin irritation.

Serious risks include severe hypertension, tachycardia, chest pain, allergic skin reactions, and, rarely, seizures. Users should seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of these symptoms, especially if they have underlying cardiovascular disease.

The patch should not be used by individuals who are not regular smokers, those with uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, severe heart disease, or known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any patch components. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before use.
