It is suitable for adults over 18 years of age who smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day and wish to quit smoking.
Can I smoke while using these lozenges?
No, you must not smoke whilst using these lozenges. Doing so can increase nicotine levels and may cause adverse effects.

Most people use 8-12 lozenges per day. You should not use more than 30 of the 1mg lozenges in a 24-hour period.
How should I use the lozenge?
Suck the lozenge slowly until it dissolves completely. Do not chew or swallow it. Move it from one side of your mouth to the other. Refer to the enclosed leaflet for the specific sucking technique.
What should I do if I have heart problems?
Do not use these lozenges if you have or recently had heart problems. Consult your doctor before starting Nicotine Replacement Therapy if you have any heart conditions.
Are there any dietary restrictions while using these lozenges?
Avoid eating or drinking while the lozenge is dissolving in your mouth. The lozenges contain Aspartame, a source of Phenylalanine, so they are not suitable for individuals with Phenylketonuria.
What is the difference between 1mg and 2mg lozenges?

Troubleshooting
Lozenge is not dissolving properly.
Ensure you are sucking it slowly and not chewing or swallowing. Move the lozenge around your mouth to allow even dissolution.
Experiencing intense cravings despite using lozenges.
Ensure you are using the lozenges at the recommended frequency and dosage. You may need to adjust the number of lozenges per day based on your cravings, staying within the maximum limit. Consider combining with behavioral support.
Experiencing side effects like dizziness or nausea.
These can sometimes be due to too much nicotine. Try spacing out your lozenge usage further apart or reducing the number of lozenges per day. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
