Maximize Your Quitting Success with Dual Support

Dual Support

You can maximize your chance of quitting for good by using the NICORETTE® Invisi Transdermal Patch and an oral product, like NICORETTE® Gum, when you need extra support to fight cravings

More Likely to Quit

You are almost more likely to quit using the NICORETTE® Invisi Transdermal Patch along with an oral product, compared to willpower alone.

How Dual Support Works

If using one nicotine replacement therapy product isn’t enough to help you quit, our Dual Support offers you a better chance of quitting for good.

With Dual Support, two stop smoking aids are used:

1. Patches are used to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings throughout the day.
2. Gum is used to relieve breakthrough cravings.

Why Use it?

Research shows that using two quit-smoking aids at the same time increases your chances of quitting compared to using just one. If you experience very strong cravings or have tried unsuccessfully to quit in the past using only a single product, using two products can really help you to stay on track.

15 or more day
If you smoke 15 or more cigarettes a day and you are prepared to quit immediately, you can use one Step 1 (25mg/16hr) patch per day for 8 weeks AND
chew one piece of 2mg gum whenever there’s an urge to smoke. Use no more than 12 pieces in one day.

After 8 weeks, you can wean yourself off NRT by either:
Using Step 2 (15mg/16hr) patch for 2 weeks, followed by the Step 3 (10mg/16hr) patch for 2 weeks, while using the same number of 2mg Gums in a day that you have routinely used. Then when a Patch is no longer needed, gradually reduce the number of 2mg Gums until you no longer need them.

Less than 15 a day
If you smoke less than 15 cigarettes a day and you are prepared to quit immediately, you can use one Step 2 (15mg/16hr) patch per day for 8 weeks AND
chew one piece of 2mg gum whenever there’s an urge to smoke. Use no more than 12 pieces in one day.

After 8 weeks, you can wean yourself off NRT by either:
Using Step 3 (10mg/16hr) patch for 4 weeks, while using the same number of 2mg Gums in a day that you have routinely used. Then when a Patch is no longer needed, gradually reduce the number of 2mg Gums until you no longer need them.

Who Can Use Dual Support

Are you a heavy smoker? Or have you tried unsuccessfully to quit in the past using only a single Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) product? Then using two NICORETTE® products can really help you stay on track.
