Precautions:
Nicorette Clear should not be used by people who have never smoked.
The benefits of quitting smoking outweigh any risks associated with the correct use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
Users should be informed that if they continue to smoke while using the patches, they may experience an increased incidence of adverse effects due to the harmful effects of smoking, including cardiovascular effects.

Pregnancy, lactation and fertility:
Combination therapy should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Women of childbearing age / Contraception in women and men
Unlike the well-known negative effects of smoking on human conception and pregnancy, the effects of nicotine treatment are unknown. Thus, to date there is no specific advice needed regarding female contraception, the most prudent stance for women planning to become pregnant should be to both quit smoking and use NRT.
While smoking may have adverse effects on male fertility, there is no evidence that specific contraceptive measures are necessary during TSN treatment in men.
Task:
Smoking during pregnancy is associated with risks such as intrauterine growth retardation, premature birth, and stillbirth. Quitting smoking is the single most effective intervention for improving the health of both the pregnant smoker and her baby. The sooner nicotine abstinence is achieved, the better.
Nicotine passes to the fetus and affects breathing and circulation. The effect on circulation is dose-dependent.
Therefore, pregnant smokers should always be advised to quit smoking completely, without the use of nicotine replacement therapy. The risk of continuing to smoke may pose a greater risk to the fetus than the use of nicotine replacement products in a supervised smoking cessation program. The use of Nicorette Clear by pregnant smokers should only be initiated on the advice of a doctor.
Breastfeeding:
Nicotine passes freely into breast milk in quantities that may affect the infant, even at therapeutic doses. Nicorette Clear should therefore be avoided during breastfeeding. If smoking cessation cannot be achieved, the use of Nicorette Clear for breastfeeding smokers should only be initiated on medical advice.
Fertility:
In women, smoking causes delays in the fertile period of the menstrual cycle, decreases the success rates of in vitro fertilization, and significantly increases the risk of infertility.
In men, smoking reduces sperm production, increases oxidative stress, and causes DNA damage. The sperm of smokers have reduced fertilizing capacity. The specific contribution of nicotine to these effects is not known.

Driving and using machines:
Nicorette Clear has no or negligible effects on the ability to drive and use machines.
