Nicorette Invisi 25mg patch - 7 patches
Nicorette Invisi 25mg patch is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help you stop smoking. It delivers a controlled dose of nicotine through the skin to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, supporting your journey toward quitting smoking. By using this transdermal patch, you can gradually reduce your dependence on nicotine while avoiding the harmful toxins found in cigarettes, such as tar and ammonia.
How does Nicorette Invisi 25mg Patch work?
The Nicorette Invisi 25mg patch works by slowly releasing nicotine over a period of 16 hours. When applied to the skin, the nicotine is absorbed and helps to alleviate the cravings and withdrawal symptoms that many smokers experience when trying to quit. Unlike smoking, the nicotine delivered via the patch does not give you the "buzz" typically associated with cigarettes, but it effectively helps manage cravings.
