The ideal way to stop smoking for those who need to keep their hands busy. Each inhaler unit contains nicotine 10mg. Insert the inhaler into the mouthpiece, and suck as you would a cigarette. The dose of nicotine from a puff of Nicorette inhaler is much less than that of a puff of a cigarette. After 20 minutes of intense use with deep inhalations or continuous puffing, you have used all the available nicotine in the cartridge. You could use the inhaler intensely for five minutes on four different occasions. After you have tried it a few times you will develop the technique which best suits you. The dosage is individual and depends on how much nicotine you need to reduce the withdrawal symptoms. It is important that the treatment period is long enough. Normally the treatment period is three months. After that the dosage is gradually reduced over 6 to 8 weeks. Use beyond 6 months is not recommended. The Nicorette Inhaler is available in 2 pack sizes. The regular Nicorette Inhaler pack contains 42 inhaler cartridges and 1 mouthpiece. The Nicorette Inhaler Starter Pack contains 6 inhaler cartridges and 1 mouthpiece.
Stop smoking completely when you start using Nicorette inhaler. Consult your Doctor if you have severe cardiovascular disease, gastric ulcer, chronic throat diseases or asthma. People under 18 years should not use Nicorette without consulting a Doctor. Do not use if breastfeeding or pregnant.
