Nicotinell Lozenge Mint 1 Mg

Description

Medication name: Nicotinell Lozenge Mint 1 mg contains Nicotine (1 mg per lozenge), a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) used to help people quit smoking by reducing withdrawal symptoms and nicotine cravings.

Drug class: Smoking cessation aid / Nicotine replacement therapy

Use: Nicotinell Lozenges are used to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop smoking.

They are suitable for light smokers (those who smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes per day) or for reducing smoking gradually before complete cessation.

How it works: Each lozenge slowly releases nicotine in the mouth, which is absorbed through the oral mucosa into the bloodstream.

This provides a steady dose of nicotine to reduce cravings, irritability, and anxiety associated with nicotine withdrawal.

Dosage and administration:

• Suck one lozenge slowly until taste becomes strong, then rest it between cheek and gum.

• Repeat this process until the lozenge dissolves completely (about 30 minutes).

• Use 1 lozenge every 1–2 hours as needed.

• Maximum: 15 lozenges per day.

• Gradually reduce the number of lozenges as cravings decrease.

• Do not chew or swallow the lozenge whole.

Side effects: Common side effects include throat irritation, hiccups, nausea, heartburn, dry mouth, and coughing.

Rarely, dizziness, headache, or allergic reactions may occur.

Precautions:

• For oral use only.

• Do not use if non-smoker or occasional smoker.

• Avoid use in patients with recent heart attack, irregular heartbeat, or severe hypertension.

• Consult a doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, or using other nicotine products.

• Stop use and seek medical advice if mouth irritation or persistent sore throat develops.

Storage: Store below 25 °C, in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and out of reach of children.
