FAQs
How many Nicotinell 4mg lozenges can I use per day?
You should not use more than 12 lozenges per day. Typically, the usage starts with 8-12 lozenges daily for the first 12 weeks of a quit program, and then gradually reduced.
How long should I use the lozenges?
The duration of use varies. Generally, a structured program involves using the lozenges for up to 12 weeks, gradually reducing the number used over time as nicotine dependence lessens.
Can I chew or swallow the lozenge?
No, you should not chew or swallow the lozenge. It is designed to dissolve slowly in your mouth to release nicotine gradually. Chewing or swallowing will not provide the intended effect and may lead to side effects.
What should I do if I experience strong cravings after using a lozenge?
Ensure you are allowing the lozenge to dissolve fully and slowly. If cravings are still strong, wait at least 15 minutes before considering another lozenge, but do not exceed the recommended daily dose. It may also be helpful to engage in a distracting activity.
Is this product suitable for everyone who wants to quit smoking?
This 4mg lozenge is specifically recommended for adults who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day or experience strong nicotine urges. If you smoke fewer cigarettes or have less intense cravings, a 2mg strength might be more appropriate. It is not intended for non-smokers.
Can I use Nicotinell lozenges if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
You should consult a healthcare professional before using Nicotinell lozenges if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as nicotine can harm your baby.
What are the main ingredients?

Troubleshooting
Nicotine craving not relieved
Ensure the lozenge is dissolving slowly and correctly. If cravings persist, consider if the dosage or frequency needs adjustment (consult healthcare professional if needed).
Lozenge dissolves too quickly
Try to keep the lozenge on one side of your mouth and avoid moving it excessively. Ensure you are not chewing or sucking vigorously.
Experiencing mild mouth or throat irritation
This can be a temporary side effect. Ensure the lozenge is not sticking to your tongue or teeth. If irritation is severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Feeling nauseous
This may indicate nicotine overconsumption. Ensure you are not using too many lozenges per day or too quickly. Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
