Nicorette Mechanism of Action

Nicorette Invisi Transdermal Patch & Nicorette Icy Mint Medicated Chewing Gum: When the patient stops smoking, the body misses the nicotine that the patient has been absorbing. The patient may experience unpleasant feelings and a strong desire to smoke (craving). This indicates that the patient is dependent on nicotine.
When the patient applies a Nicorette Invisi Transdermal Patch to the skin and chew Nicorette Icy Mint Gum, nicotine is released and passes into the body, and through the lining of the mouth (Nicorette Icy Mint Medicated Chewing Gum). The nicotine released from the patch and gum are sufficient to relieve the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. It will also help to stop the craving to smoke, but Nicorette Invisi Transdermal Patch and Nicorette Icy Mint Gum will not give the "buzz" the patient gets from smoking a cigarette.
The benefits of quitting smoking outweigh any risks associated with correctly administered nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
Nicorette Invisi Transdermal Patch and Nicorette Icy Mint Gum are not to be administered to persons under 18 years of age without recommendation from health care professional. There is insufficient clinical data from controlled trials to recommend routine use in adolescents under the age of 18.
