Directions
Choosing where to apply the patch
Before applying your NICORETTE Invisi patch, choose a completely clean, dry area of hairless skin on the front or side of the chest, upper arm or hip.
Avoid placing the patch on any area of skin that is red, cut or irritated.
Do not apply oil or talcum powder to the skin before putting on the patch as this may prevent it from sticking properly.
It is important that you do not use the same area on two consecutive days to help avoid irritating that site.
How to apply the patch
Wash your hands before applying the patch.
Each NICORETTE Invisi patch comes in a child-resistant sachet which can be opened by cutting along the edge with a pair of scissors.
Remove the patch from its sachet and then peel one part of the silvery aluminium backing away. Avoid touching the sticky surface of the patch with your fingers.
Carefully apply the sticky part of the patch to the chosen area of skin and then peel off the remaining half of the silvery aluminium backing foil.
Press the patch firmly onto the skin with your palm or fingertips.
Run your fingers around the edge to ensure it sticks firmly.
Removing and disposing of the patch
The patch should be removed before you go to bed as NICORETTE Invisi patch is not designed to be worn when you go to sleep at night or for more than 16 hours each day.
After removal, the patch should be folded in half, sticky side inwards and placed inside the opened sachet or a piece of aluminium foil.
The patch should then be disposed of carefully in the household rubbish, out of reach of children and animals.
