Product Details
Nicotinell 2mg Lozenges x 36
Nicotinell lozenge contains nicotine. When you suck the lozenge, the nicotine is slowly released and absorbed through the lining of the mouth.
The lozenge can alleviate some of the unpleasant withdrawal effects that frequently occur when giving up smoking, such as cravings and irritability.
The lozenge can reduce your desire to smoke and help improve your willpower to resist smoking by providing some of the nicotine previously inhaled.
Nicotinell Lozenge is best suited for those with low nicotine dependency.
It is not recommended for those who have found other forms of nicotine replacement therapy unsatisfactory.
The nicotine dependence makes it difficult to stop smoking. The craving for cigarettes can continue for some time after you have ceased smoking. You still need to use your willpower to resist the urge to smoke. Advice as support will improve your success.
Before using Nicotinell Lozenge :
Are you allergic to any of its components?
Have you any serious heart disease?
Have you had a stroke?
Are you a diabetic?
Do you have an overactive thyroid?
Do you have persistent indigestion or severe sore throat?

Do you have any serious liver or kidney disease?
Do you suffer from phaeochromocytoma?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, do not use the lozenges without talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
Those with phenylketonuria : Contains Aspartame, which is a source of Phenylalamine.
Not to be used by non-smokers or people under 18 years of age.
If you are pregnant or breast feeding you should only use Nicotinell lozenges under the advice of your doctor.
The effect of some medicines can be altered when you stop smoking. If you are already taking regular medication, you should tell your doctor or pharmacist.
Coffee, juices and fizzy drinks may reduce the absorption of nicotine and should not be taken for 15 minutes before sucking.
Do not smoke when you use Nicotinell lozenge. Rather suck one lozenge when you feel the urge to smoke.
When starting treatment, 1 lozenge may be sucked every 1 to 2 hours. Most people suck 8-12 lozenges per day.
The maximum daily dose is 25 lozenges.
Many of the side effects occur within the first 3 to 4 weeks after starting treatment. Initially there may be slight irritation of the throat and increase of saliva. Excessive swallowing of saliva containing nicotine may cause hiccups. Those with a tendency to indigestion may suffer initially from indigestion or heartburn. Gentler sucking of the lozenge may overcome these effects. Those who smoked but did not inhale may experience nausea, faintness and headache. Side effects such as dizziness and headache and insomnia may be experienced as you lower your nicotine intake. Other side effects may include wind and dry mouth.
Less common are palpitations and a change in heart rhythm. Cold sores have been reported but it is unclear whether this is due to the lozenge.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you notice any other effect that you think might be caused by using the lozenge.
