Step 1: Begin treatment with the highest strength Nicorette Invisi 25mg Patch the day after you stop smoking completely. Use a new Nicorette Invisi 25mg Patch each day for eight weeks.
Step 2: If you are successful and avoid smoking during this eight-week period, you should then begin to reduce the amount of nicotine you are getting by switching to a lower strength patch. Then use the Nicorette Invisi 15mg Patch each day for two weeks.
Step 3: If you are successful and avoid smoking over this two-week period, then switch from the Nicorette Invisi 15mg Patch to the Nicorette Invisi 10mg Patch each day for a further two weeks.
