Uses
Relieves and/or prevents cravings and nicotine withdrawal symptoms for smokers wishing to quit or cut down prior to quitting. For those smoking 20 or fewer cigarettes a day, the 2mg Lozenge is indicated. Those smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day should use the 4mg Lozenge. Suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Dosage
12 years and over: whenever the urge to smoke is felt or to prevent cravings, place one lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve, periodically moving it from one side of the mouth to the other. Do not chew or swallow. Maximum dose: 15 lozenges per day. Smoking cessation: replace all cigarettes with lozenges and as soon as possible, reducing the number of lozenges until stopped completely. Cutting down prior to quitting: use a lozenge as needed between smoking episodes to prolong smoke-free intervals, reducing smoking as much as possible before quitting completely. Those who have quit smoking but are having difficulty discontinuing the lozenge should speak to a pharmacist or doctor for advice.
