How to Use HOW TO USE: If you are using the over-the-counter product, read all directions on the product package before using this medication. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, read the Patient Information Leaflet if provided by your pharmacist before you start using this product and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Do not eat or drink anything for 15 minutes before using the lozenge and while the lozenge is in your mouth. Start this medication on your quit (smoking) day. Suck on a lozenge when you feel the urge to smoke. Place the lozenge in your mouth and allow it to slowly dissolve over 20-30 minutes. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation. Try not to swallow the dissolved medication. Do not chew or swallow the lozenge. Occasionally move the lozenge from one side of your mouth to the other with your tongue. The best dose for you is the dose that decreases the urge to smoke without side effects from too much nicotine. Your dose will need to be adjusted to your needs, including smoking history and medical condition. During the first 6 weeks, use 1 lozenge every 1-2 hours (at least 9 lozenges a day). Do not use more than 1 lozenge at a time or continuously use 1 lozenge right after another. Doing so may increase side effects such as hiccups, heartburn, and nausea. Do not use more than 5 lozenges in 6 hours or more than 20 lozenges in a day. You may use this product on a regular schedule as well as at times when you have the urge to smoke. When you have stopped smoking and you have reached the best dose and schedule for you, continue at that dose. After about 6 weeks, start using fewer lozenges each day as directed in the package or by your doctor until you are no longer smoking and no longer need nicotine replacement. It is important to complete the treatment with this medication (12 weeks). If after the treatment period, you still feel the need to use this medication to prevent you from smoking, talk to your doctor. If you suddenly stop using this medication, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as tobacco cravings, nervousness, irritability, headache). To help prevent withdrawal, your doctor may lower your dose slowly. Withdrawal is more likely if you have used nicotine for a long time or in high doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you have withdrawal. Some smokers are unsuccessful the first time they try to quit. You may need to stop using this product and try again later. Many people who cannot quit the first time are successful the next time.
Missed Dose MISSED DOSE: If you are using this on a regular schedule and you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Notes NOTES: Do not share this medication with others.
Overdose OVERDOSE: If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: confusion, drooling, seizure, slow/shallow breathing, hearing problems.

Side Effects SIDE EFFECTS: Mouth sores, hiccups, nausea, sore throat, headache, heartburn, or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, stop using this medication and tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Common nicotine withdrawal symptoms can occur when you stop smoking and include dizziness, anxiety, depression, or trouble sleeping, among others. If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Serious side effects are more likely if you continue to smoke while using this product. Stop using this medication and tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: severe dizziness, mental/mood changes (such as irritability, trouble sleeping, vivid dreams), numbness/tingling in hands/feet, swelling hands/ankles/feet. Stop using this medication and get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest pain, confusion, severe headache, fast/irregular/pounding heartbeat, trouble speaking, weakness on one side of the body.

Storage STORAGE: Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.

Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.
Uses USES: This medication can help you quit smoking by replacing the nicotine in cigarettes. The nicotine in tobacco is an important part of cigarette addiction. When you stop smoking, your nicotine levels drop quickly. This drop can cause withdrawal symptoms such as craving tobacco, nervousness, irritability, headache, weight gain, and difficulty concentrating. Stopping smoking is hard and your chance of success is best when you are ready and have made a commitment to quit. Nicotine replacement products are part of a total stop-smoking program that includes behavior change, counseling, and support. Smoking causes lung disease, cancer, and heart disease. Stopping smoking is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and live longer.
