Always check the individual product leaflet.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Stopping smoking is particularly important during pregnancy.

If this is unsuccessful, NRT may be considered because continued smoking generally presents a greater risk than appropriately supervised NRT.

Seek advice from a:

  • Pharmacist
  • GP
  • Midwife
  • Stop-smoking professional

before starting treatment.

During pregnancy, intermittent NRT products are generally preferred because they provide periods without nicotine exposure.

If a patch is required during pregnancy, it should normally be removed at bedtime.

During breastfeeding, intermittent NRT is generally preferred to patches where clinically appropriate.
