Niquitin Minis 1.5 mg Fresh Mint 20 or 60 Sugarfree tablets are always at hand, and all day long, they enable you, with an easy and discreet gesture, to fight effectively against your feelings of craving. They melt in your mouth in around 10 minutes, so you can quickly put an end to your cigarette cravings: with their fresh mint flavour and nomadic format, you can take them with you wherever you go. The tablets are designed for smokers who want to be active in their withdrawal and choose when to take their treatment, as they attach great importance to maintaining a certain gesture.

Preparing for D-Day
Today marks the beginning of your new life as a non-smoker. You've chosen this date to free yourself from the clutches of tobacco - be proud of it! Knowing when to stop smoking and setting a specific date in advance will help you prepare for this change. Your decision to stop smoking won't be made on the spur of the moment, but will be carefully considered.
As a first step, throw away your last packets and all your smoking accessories (lighters, ashtrays). Tell the people around you so that they can support you in your decision, and plan your day so as to occupy as much of your time as possible. Avoid all situations previously associated with smoking: coffee breaks between smokers, coffee after meals, dinner with smoking friends, etc.

Directions for use Niquitin Minis 1.5 mg

Acesulfame potassium-sweetened tablets should not be given to children under 18 without a doctor's prescription. There are no data evaluating treatment with this drug in subjects under 18 years of age.
Adults and elderly subjects:
The 1.5 mg chewable tablet is indicated for smokers with low to moderate nicotine dependence, i.e. those who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up.

Complete cessation of smoking
Nicotine dependence is usually treated in 3 stages.

  • Stage 1 Weeks 1 to 6: Initial treatment phase: 1 sucking tablet every 1 to 2 hours
  • Stage 2 Weeks 7 to 9: Follow-up treatment: 1 sucking tablet every 2 to 4 hours
  • Stage 3 Weeks 10 to 12: Smoking cessation: 1 sucking tablet every 4 to 8 hours

To help you continue to quit after 12 weeks: 1 to 2 sucking tablets a day only in case of strong temptations.
During weeks 1 to 6, the dosage should be at least 9 sucking tablets a day.

In no case should the number of tablets sucked exceed 15 per day.

Temporary abstinence from smoking
Suck one tablet each time you feel the urge to smoke.
The number of 1.5 mg tablets should not exceed 15 per day.

Slowly suck the tablet for the required time (10 minutes for NiQuitinMinis), moving it back and forth in your mouth until it is completely dissolved. The tablet should not be chewed or swallowed, as nicotine is gradually released and must be absorbed by the oral mucosa. Do not eat or drink while the tablet is in your mouth.

Precautions for use

  • Do not take Niquitine Minis 1.5 mg Menthe Fraîche 20 Comprimés sans Sucre :
  • If you do not smoke or if you are an occasional smoker,
  • If you are allergic to any of the ingredients,

IF IN DOUBT, ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST FOR ADVICE.

Certain illnesses require medical examination and monitoring before using this product. For example, in case of :

  • Severe hepatic and/or renal insufficiency,
  • Evolving stomach or duodenal ulcers.

It is essential to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
Sucking tablets must be kept out of the reach of children (serious, even fatal, poisoning).

Certain signs indicate underdosing. If, despite treatment, you experience withdrawal symptoms such as: craving for cigarettes, irritability, sleep disturbances, restlessness or impatience, difficulty concentrating. Consult your doctor or pharmacist. It may be necessary to adjust the dosage.

Certain signs may indicate overdosage: if signs of overdosage appear, i.e. nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hypersalivation, sweating, headache, dizziness, hearing loss, general weakness. It is imperative to adopt the treatment with the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.

Vitamin C and vitamin E deficiency in tobacco smokers

Smoking leads to deficiencies in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (tocopherol).
Vitamin E and vitamin C are antioxidants, capable of neutralizing the free radicals produced in our bodies during inflammatory processes (smoking, cancer, Alzheimer's disease). Free radicals generated by tobacco smoke progressively destroy alveolar membranes.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) acts in synergy with vitamin C, which explains why vitamin C intake significantly reduces the vitamin E deficiency observed in tobacco smokers.
Tobacco smokers are always deficient in vitamin E and vitamin C, which is why we recommend dietary supplements rich in natural bioavailable vitamin C (acerola) and vitamin E.



IF IN DOUBT, ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST FOR ADVICE.

Taking or using other medicines:
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medication, even if obtained without a prescription. Stopping smoking may alter the action of certain medications. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding:
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medication.

Other medicinal products and NIQUITINMINIS MENTHE FRAICHE 1.5 mg SUGAR-FREE, sweetened tablets with lacésulfame potassique

Not applicable.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Pregnancy

It is very important to stop smoking during pregnancy, as it may affect the course of your pregnancy. Delayed fetal growth, premature delivery and late fetal death have been observed in pregnant smokers.

Smoking cessation during pregnancy requires medical advice and follow-up. You should therefore consult the doctor who is monitoring your pregnancy, or your usual doctor, or a doctor at a center specializing in smoking cessation. If you are unable to stop smoking without nicotine replacement therapy, this medicine may be recommended by your doctor.

Breast-feeding

If you are a heavy smoker and do not intend to stop smoking, you should not breast-feed your baby, but use artificial milk.

Use of this drug should be avoided while breast-feeding, as nicotine passes into breast milk and may affect your child. However, if you wish to stop smoking and breastfeed your child, consult your doctor or a doctor at a center specializing in smoking cessation. If your doctor has recommended that you use this medicine, the dose should be taken just after the next feed or more than 2 hours before the next feed.

The use of intermittent doses of nicotine replacement therapy may minimize the amount of nicotine present in breast milk, compared with patches, since the time interval between taking the substitute and breast-feeding can be extended as much as possible.

Because terpene derivatives (peppermint flavoring, menthol flavoring) contained in this medication can pass into milk, and because of potential neurological toxicity in infants, you should consider using another flavoring.

Fertility

Smoking can affect fertility in both men and women. However, the specific contribution of nicotine to these effects in humans is not known.

Driving and use of machinery

Not applicable.

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, i.e. it is essentially "sodium-free".

Health education advice :

Quitting smoking as soon as possible has immediate health benefits. It's never too late to quit, even if you've smoked a lot for a long time.

As soon as you stop smoking:

- You will no longer absorb the irritating and toxic substances of cigarettes,

- You'll notice certain improvements: gradual disappearance of headaches, coughing, throat irritation and shortness of breath,

- You'll often enjoy the satisfaction of better sleep, the taste of food and smells, and improved physical performance,

- You'll reduce your risk of developing lung cancer or cardiovascular disease. Moreover, in the case of heart or arterial disease (angina pectoris, arteritis of the lower limbs), it is particularly important to succeed in quitting smoking.

What is tobacco dependence?

Tobacco addiction is twofold:

- Psychological dependence:
Smoking a cigarette involves a ritual of automatic, repetitive gestures associated with particular circumstances (pleasure, response to stress, intellectual stimulation, support for morale, need for the gesture of conviviality). This is psychological and behavioral dependence.

- Physical dependence:
The body's need for nicotine is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. This is physical dependence. Failure to satisfy this need leads to a sensation of craving (see description in the chapter "How to overcome your physical dependence").
Nicotine substitutes are designed to treat this dependence.

How to overcome your psychological dependence?

- To increase your chances of success, you need to stop smoking completely:

o choose a day when you feel most confident about quitting,

o throw away your last pack of cigarettes, your lighter and put away your ashtrays,

o in the case of a smoking couple, it's preferable for both partners to quit at the same time.

- Let your family and colleagues know that you're quitting smoking. Ask them to respect your decision (not to smoke near you, not to offer you any more cigarettes).

- Be prepared for the urge to smoke. It may come on suddenly and intensely, especially in the first few weeks after you've stopped smoking, but it shouldn't last more than 3 or 4 minutes.
You need to plan what you will do in this case and act very quickly to avoid "cracking", for example

o drinking a large glass of water

o chew gum,

o count to 100,

o take a few deep breaths,

o leave the room,

o change activity.

- Avoid situations associated with smoking (coffee, aperitifs, etc.), avoid temptations (sit with non-smokers). Find ways to compensate for smoking (hobbies, sports, cultural activities).

How can you overcome your physical dependence?

If you're addicted to nicotine, you may need to use nicotine substitutes to succeed.

To assess your level of dependence, we suggest you take the Fagerström test.

FAGERSTROM TEST

How soon after waking up do you smoke your first cigarette?

- within 5 minutes: 3

- 6 to 30 minutes: 2

- from 31 to 60 minutes: 1

- close to 60 minutes: 0

Do you find it difficult not to smoke in places where smoking is prohibited?

- yes: 1

- no: 0

Which cigarette of the day would you find most difficult to give up?

- the first: 1

- another: 0

How many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

- 10 or less: 0

- 11 à 20: 1

- 21 à 30: 2

- 31 or more: 3

Do you smoke more in the morning than in the afternoon?

- yes: 1

- no: 0

Do you smoke when you're so sick you have to stay in bed most of the day?

- yes: 1

- no: 0

TOTAL POINTS

score from 0 to 2: you are not addicted to nicotine. You can stop smoking without needing a nicotine replacement. However, if you're worried about quitting, ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice.

score of 3 to 4: you are mildly dependent on nicotine.

score 5 to 6: you are moderately dependent on nicotine. The use of nicotine substitutes will increase your chances of success. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on the best treatment for you.

score from 7 to 10: you are strongly or very strongly dependent on nicotine. The use of nicotine substitutes is recommended to help you overcome this nicotine dependence. This treatment must be used in sufficient and appropriate doses.

Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice, possibly in the context of a specialized smoking cessation consultation.

Withdrawal symptoms may persist for a long time, and treatment should be of sufficient duration, usually one to three months.

If, despite treatment, you experience a persistent "craving" sensation, such as

- the urge to smoke

- irritability, sleep disturbances

- restlessness or impatience,

- difficulty concentrating.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist, as dose adjustments may be necessary.

How can we help you?

- Support from healthcare professionals
The support, advice and follow-up provided by your doctor or pharmacist will be invaluable during the first six months of quitting smoking. You can also turn to a specialized smoking cessation consultation, especially if you've already failed.

- Psychological support
Quitting smoking requires a supportive family and social environment. If you're worried that the difficulties are too great, psychological support or temporary treatment can help.

- Diet
In the months following smoking cessation, you may notice a moderate weight gain. If you have any concerns in this area, you can speak to a health professional who will be able to advise you.

Why have you started smoking again?

Think of this relapse as an accident along the way, as a normal learning event: a relapse is not a failure.

Analyze the reasons why you started smoking again.

- Physical dependence
This may not have been properly taken into account, or it may have reappeared after several months, for example, during prolonged stays in smoky atmospheres.

- Because of excessive weight gain
You may need to modify your eating habits a little before your next attempt to stop smoking.

- Because of a drop in motivation, because of a painful event or a difficult period, because of psychological difficulties that have arisen during the quitting process (depression, anxiety...), because of a lack of energy, because of a lack of energy or because of a lack of energy..), or because of a very tempting situation. Understand the reason for the relapse, so you can prevent it if possible the next time you try.

In all cases, don't hesitate to ask a healthcare professional for advice, or seek out a specialized smoking cessation consultation.

If you've started smoking again, don't be discouraged. Experience shows that your chances of success increase after one or more quit attempts. Don't hesitate to get help from your doctor, a tobaccology consultation, or tabac-info-service on 39 89.

COMPOSITION  (sommaire)
 p cp p cp 
Nicotine 1,5 mg 4 mg 
Mannitol 

INDICATIONS  (sommaire)
Ce médicament aide les fumeurs à se désintoxiquer du tabac. Le comprimé à sucer apporte dans le sang, par l'intermédiaire de la muqueuse buccale, la nicotine, principale substance active du tabac, responsable de l'accoutumance.
Il est utilisé soit pour arrêter définitivement de fumer, soit pour arrêter temporairement.
CONTRE-INDICATIONS  (sommaire)
Ce médicament ne doit pas être utilisé chez le non fumeur ou chez le fumeur occasionnel.
ATTENTION  (sommaire)
Ce médicament ne doit pas être utilisé chez les moins de 18 ans sans consultation médicale préalable.
Des précautions sont nécessaires en cas d'ulcère de l'estomac ou du duodénum, d'insuffisance rénale ou d'insuffisance hépatique grave. Dans ces situations, une consultation médicale préalable est indispensable avant d'utiliser ce médicament ; un arrêt du tabac sans traitement de substitution peut être nécessaire.
N'utilisez pas d'autres médicaments contenant de la nicotine, notamment les dispositifs transdermiques (voir Interaction médicamenteuses).
INTERACTIONS MEDICAMENTEUSES  (sommaire)
Les produits contenus dans la fumée du tabac peuvent accélérer la vitesse d'élimination de certains médicaments, la théophylline notamment. Lors de l'arrêt du tabagisme, ces médicaments peuvent voir leur effet renforcé et des signes de surdosage peuvent apparaître. Contactez votre médecin au moindre doute.
GROSSESSE et ALLAITEMENT (sommaire)
Grossesse :
Le tabagisme chez la femme enceinte peut être à l'origine d'un retard de croissance du fœtus. L'arrêt du tabac est donc toujours souhaitable. Chez les femmes fortement dépendantes à la nicotine, l'usage de ce médicament peut être une aide, mais les effets de la nicotine seule sur le fœtus sont mal connus. Ce médicament a l'avantage de ne pas exposer le fœtus aux autres toxiques présents dans la fumée du tabac. En résumé : si l'idéal est de ne pas fumer et de ne pas exposer le fœtus à des apports de nicotine, l'usage de ce médicament est un moindre mal par rapport au tabac.

Allaitement :
La nicotine passe dans le lait maternel, l'allaitement est déconseillé pendant le traitement.
Si l'allaitement maternel est néanmoins choisi, prendre les comprimés de préférence après la têtée.
MODE D'EMPLOI ET POSOLOGIE  (sommaire)
Le choix du dosage est fonction de la dépendance initiale à la nicotine. Les comprimés à 4 mg sont adaptés aux fumeurs fortement ou très fortement dépendants.
En pratique, il est utile de connaître les signes de sous ou surdosage pour adapter la posologie après quelques jours de traitement :
  • le surdosage aboutit à l'état du fumeur qui a trop fumé et se traduit principalement par un état nauséeux et des maux de tête. Des troubles de la vue ou de l'audition, un tremblement, des vertiges sont également possibles ;
  • un sous-dosage provoque des symptômes de manque : irritabilité, nervosité, crampes d'estomac (sorte de faim douloureuse), difficulté de concentration.
Dès que le désir de fumer est surmonté, réduire progressivement le nombre de comprimés, jusqu'à désaccoutumance complète.
Placer le comprimé dans la bouche, sans le croquer ou le mâcher, afin de permettre l'absorption lente et régulière de la nicotine par les vaisseaux sanguins de la bouche. Le comprimé se dissout en 10 minutes environ et doit être régulièrement déplacé d'un côté à l'autre de la bouche pendant ce temps.
Il est important de ne pas boire ou manger tant que le comprimé est dans la bouche.

Posologie usuelle:

  • Adulte de plus de 18 ans :
    • Arrêt complet du tabac : pendant les 6 premières semaines, sucer un comprimé toutes les 1 à 2 heures, sans dépasser 15 comprimés à 1,5 mg ou 11 comprimés à 4 mg par jour ; les 3 semaines suivantes, sucer 1 comprimé toutes les 2 à 4 heures ; les 3 semaines suivantes, espacer encore les prises en suçant 1 comprimé toutes les 4 à 8 heures ; ensuite, ne prendre que 1 ou 2 comprimés par jour en cas de tentation forte.
    • Arrêt temporaire du tabac ou réduction du nombre de cigarette : 1 comprimé chaque fois que l'envie de fumer apparaît, sans dépasser 15 comprimés à 1,5 mg ou 11 comprimés à 4 mg par jour.
Ne pas dépasser 6 mois de traitement continu.
CONSEILS (sommaire)
La nicotine prise par voie orale en remplacement de la cigarette présente la même nocivité cardiovasculaire que celle qui est contenue dans le tabac. Seul le risque de cancer du poumon disparaît. Lorsque l'arrêt du tabac est motivé par des raisons médicales urgentes : infarctus récent, artérite, gastrite ou ulcère, il est préférable d'arrêter l'absorption de nicotine sous toutes ses formes.
Comme toutes les méthodes antitabac utilisées pour aider les fumeurs, ce médicament ne peut être efficace que lorsque la volonté d'arrêter de fumer est personnelle et s'accompagne d'une forte motivation. C'est cette motivation qui permettra de lutter contre l'envie de fumer, sans être forcé de faire en permanence appel à la volonté qui s'émousse avec le temps. Un arrêt du tabac durable chez le fumeur suppose que celui-ci considère le tabac comme un poison, une dépendance inacceptable. Il doit se faire à l'idée qu'il ne fumera plus jamais, dès le début du sevrage. Chaque jour sans tabac doit être vécu comme une libération, et non comme un calvaire. Le fumeur qui est dans cet état d'esprit est un bon candidat au sevrage définitif.
L'arrêt du tabac, qui est une véritable drogue, induit de nombreux problèmes : une prise de poids est fréquente, des troubles de la concentration peuvent durer plusieurs semaines. Un état dépressif léger est possible. La prise de poids doit être combattue par un régime, et si possible par un programme sportif qui a l'avantage de réconcilier le fumeur avec son corps.
N'hésitez pas à consulter votre médecin en cas de difficulté ; ses conseils et son expérience seront précieux pour lutter contre les rechutes.
EFFETS INDÉSIRABLES POSSIBLES  (sommaire)
En début de traitement : irritation de la bouche ou de la gorge s'atténuant habituellement à la poursuite du traitement.

LEXIQUE  (sommaire)


artérite
Maladie des artères favorisée par le tabagisme et le plus souvent localisée aux jambes. Elle se caractérise par un épaississement des parois artérielles qui gêne la circulation du sang et entraîne des douleurs au cours de la marche (claudication intermittente). L'artérite des membres inférieurs augmente le risque de survenue d'infarctus du myocarde et nécessite un traitement médicamenteux. À un stade évolué, elle peut être traitée chirurgicalement.
Synonyme : artériopathie oblitérante des membres inférieurs.


dispositifs transdermiques
Système, parfois appelé timbre ou patch, permettant l'absorption d'un médicament au travers de la peau : il assure la diffusion de la substance active vers les vaisseaux sanguins du derme. La substance circule ensuite dans le sang et peut agir comme si elle avait été avalée ou injectée. Ce dispositif permet d'éviter l'effet de premier passage hépatique.


duodénum
Partie de l'intestin dans laquelle pénètrent les aliments issus de l'estomac.


état dépressif
État de souffrance morale associant une démotivation, une fatigue, un sentiment d'inutilité, d'autodépréciation. En l'absence de traitement, l'état dépressif risque d'évoluer vers une dépression grave avec sensation d'incurabilité, de culpabilité, et un risque suicidaire.


gastrite
Inflammation de l'estomac favorisée par le stress, le tabac, l'alcool et certains médicaments tels que l'aspirine ou les anti-inflammatoires.


infarctus
Destruction d'une partie du muscle cardiaque (myocarde), privé de sang par obstruction de ses artères.


insuffisance hépatique
Incapacité du foie à remplir sa fonction, qui est essentiellement l'élimination de certains déchets, mais également la synthèse de nombreuses substances biologiques indispensables à l'organisme : albumine, cholestérol et facteurs de la coagulation (vitamine K, etc.).


insuffisance rénale
Incapacité des reins à éliminer les déchets ou les substances médicamenteuses. Une insuffisance rénale avancée ne se traduit pas forcément par une diminution de la quantité d'urine éliminée. Seuls une prise de sang et le dosage de la créatinine peuvent révéler cette maladie.


muqueuse
Tissu (membrane) qui tapisse les cavités et les conduits du corps communiquant avec l'extérieur (tube digestif, appareil respiratoire, voies urinaires, etc.).


palpitations
Perception anormale de battements cardiaques irréguliers.


posologie
Quantité et répartition de la dose d'un médicament en fonction de l'âge, du poids et de l'état général du malade.


surdosage
La prise en quantité excessive d'un médicament expose à une augmentation de l'intensité des effets indésirables, voire à l'apparition d'effets indésirables particuliers.
Ce surdosage peut résulter d'une intoxication accidentelle, ou volontaire dans un but de suicide : il convient alors de consulter le centre antipoison de votre région (liste en annexe de l'ouvrage). Mais le plus souvent, le surdosage est la conséquence d'une erreur dans la compréhension de l'ordonnance, ou de la recherche d'une augmentation de l'efficacité par un dépassement de la posologie préconisée. Enfin, une automédication intempestive peut conduire à l'absorption en quantité excessive d'une même substance contenue dans des médicaments différents. Certains médicaments exposent plus particulièrement à ce risque, car ils sont considérés (à tort) comme anodins : vitamines A et D, aspirine, etc. L'arrêt ou la diminution des prises médicamenteuses permettent de faire disparaître les troubles liés à un surdosage.


symptômes
Trouble ressenti par une personne atteinte d'une maladie. Un même symptôme peut traduire des maladies différentes et une même maladie ne donne pas forcément les mêmes symptômes chez tous les malades.


troubles du rythme cardiaque
Anomalie grave ou bénigne de la fréquence des contractions du cœur. L'extrasystole est une contraction survenant juste avant ou après une contraction normale, souvent perçue comme un léger choc dans la poitrine. La fibrillation est une contraction irrégulière et désordonnée. D'autres troubles existent : torsades de pointes, syndrome de Wolf-Parkinson-White, maladie de Bouveret, tachysystolie, flutter et bloc auriculoventriculaire, etc.


ulcère
Lésion en creux de la peau, des muqueuses ou de la cornée.
  • Ulcère de jambe : plaie chronique due à une mauvaise circulation du sang.
  • Ulcère gastroduodénal : plaie localisée de la muqueuse de l'estomac ou du duodénum, due à un excès d'acidité et très souvent à la présence d'une bactérie (Helicobacter pylori). L'ulcère est favorisé par le stress, l'alcool, le tabagisme et la prise de certains médicaments (aspirine, AINS, etc.).


voie
  • Chemin (voie d'administration) utilisé pour administrer les médicaments : voie orale, sublinguale, sous-cutanée, intramusculaire, intraveineuse, intradermique, transdermique.
  • Ensemble d'organes creux permettant le passage de l'air (voies respiratoires), des aliments (voies digestives), des urines (voies urinaires), de la bile (voies biliaires), etc.
