What are Nicorette Lozenges 2 mg Fruits used for?

For warnings, precautions for use and contraindications, please consult the instructions for use.

If you are looking for an effective way to quit smoking and return to a healthier life, Nicorette 2 mg Fruit Lozenges may be the solution you have been waiting for. With their portable case, these tablets accompany you everywhere, ready to help you relieve your desire to smoke.

Nicorette 2 mg Fruit Suck Tablets are designed to help you fight against smoking, whether you want to stop immediately or gradually reduce your cigarette consumption . Here are some of their essential benefits:

An effective alternative to cigarettes

These tablets occupy the mouth, offering an alternative to cigarettes. They are specially formulated to help distract you from the urge to smoke. When you feel like smoking, simply take a Nicorette lozenge and place it in your mouth.

Gradual release of nicotine

Nicorette lozenges dissolve in the oral cavity in 20 to 30 minutes. During this dissolution process, they gradually release nicotine, which is absorbed through the oral mucosa before reaching the bloodstream. This controlled release of nicotine helps relieve cravings in a gentler way than cigarettes.

Versatile use

Nicorette tablets can be used in two main ways: for immediate cessation of smoking or for a gradual reduction before stopping completely. This versatility gives you the freedom to choose the approach that suits you best, based on your needs and situation.

Recommended by experts

These tablets are recommended for low or moderately dependent smokers, that is to say those who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up. You can determine your degree of dependence by consulting your doctor, pharmacist, or using the Fagerström test.

Complete smoking cessation program

If you opt to stop smoking completely, Nicorette tablets can support you throughout your journey. The recommended program is as follows:

  • Initial phase of treatment (Week 1 to 6): Take at least 9 lozenges per day, or one tablet every 1 to 2 hours.
  • Treatment monitoring (Week 7 to 9): Reduce to 1 tablet every 2 to 4 hours.
  • Smoking cessation (Week 9 to 12): Increase to 1 tablet every 4 to 8 hours.
  • To help with continued withdrawal (After 12 weeks): Take only 1 to 2 lozenges per day in case of strong temptations.

It is essential not to exceed 15 tablets per day and to limit the duration of treatment to 6 months.

Smoking reduction

If you prefer to gradually reduce your cigarette consumption, Nicorette lozenges offer you the flexibility you need. Here are a few tips :

  • Alternate between nicotine tablets and cigarettes to minimize your tobacco consumption .
  • As soon as the urge to smoke appears, suck a tablet to extend the time between each cigarette.
  • The number of tablets to suck per day may vary depending on your needs, but it should not exceed 15 per day.
  • If you are unable to reduce your cigarette consumption after 6 weeks of treatment, consult a healthcare professional for further advice.

Health education councils:

Stopping smoking as soon as possible results in immediate health benefits. It's never too late to quit even if you've smoked a long time and a lot .

As soon as you stop smoking:

· You will not absorb the irritating and toxic substances of cigarettes,

· You will see some improvements: progressive disappearance of headaches, cough, irritation of the throat, shortness of breath,

· You will often have the satisfaction of regaining better sleep, food flavor, odor and improve your physical performance,

· You will decrease your risk of developing lung cancer or cardiovascular disease.

Moreover, in cardiac or arterial diseases (angina pectoris, arteritis of the lower limbs ...), it is particularly imperative to succeed in quitting smoking.

What is tobacco dependence?

Tobacco addiction is twofold:

· Psychological dependence :

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

· Physical dependence :

The need for the nicotine body is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. This is physical dependence. Failure to satisfy this need results in a sense of lack (see description in the chapter " How to overcome your physical dependence ?").

Nicotinic substitutes aim to treat this dependence.

How to overcome your psychological addiction?

· Stopping smoking is necessary to increase your chances of success, but more:

o Choose a J day in the period that you think is the most favorable.

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

o In a couple of smokers, it is preferable that the attempt to stop is made at the same time by both spouses.

· Tell your family and co-workers that you quit smoking. Ask them to respect your decision (no smoking near you, no longer offering you cigarettes).

· Prepare yourself to cope with the desire to smoke. It may occur suddenly and severely, especially during the first few weeks after the cessation of smoking, but does not last more than 3 or 4 minutes.
You have to anticipate what you will do in this case and act very quickly so as not to "crack" as for example:

o drink a large glass of water,

o to chew gum,

o counting up to 100,

o do some deep breaths,

o out of the room,

o change activity ...

· Avoid situations associated with taking cigarettes (coffee, aperitif, ...), avoid temptations (settle with non-smokers).

· Find cigarette compensation (leisure, sport, cultural activity ...).

· Because of excessive weight gain

In all cases, do not hesitate to ask for advice from a health professional or to use a specialized consultation to help with smoking cessation.

If you have started smoking again, do not get discouraged, experience shows that your chances of success increase after one or more attempts to quit.

TIPS (summary)
This medicine can be used by smokers without medical consultation, it is over-the-counter. Your pharmacist's advice is valuable, he can help you determine the best time to quit and explain the causes of failure.
Nicotine taken by way oral replacing the cigarette has the same cardiovascular harmful than that in tobacco. Only the risk of lung cancer disappears. When the smoking cessation is motivated by urgent medical reasons: recent infarction , arteritis , gastritis or ulcer , it is better to stop the absorption of nicotine in all its forms.
Like all anti-smoking methods used to help smokers, this medication can only be effective when the will to quit is personal and is accompanied by strong motivation. It is this motivation that will fight against the desire to smoke, without being forced to constantly appeal to the will that dulls over time. A smoker's cessation of tobacco smoking supposes that he considers tobacco to be a poison, an unacceptable addiction. He must be convinced that he will never smoke again, from the beginning of weaning. Every day without tobacco must be lived as a liberation, and not as a nightmare. The smoker who is in this state of mind is a good candidate for permanent weaning.
The cessation of smoking, which is a real drug, causes many problems: weight gain is common, disorders of the concentration can last several weeks. A slight depressive state is possible. Weight gain must be fought by a diet, and if possible by a sports program that has the advantage of reconciling the smoker with his body.
Do not hesitate to consult your doctor in case of difficulty; his advice and experience will be invaluable in fighting relapse.

LEXICON (summary)


arteritis
Artery disease favored by smoking and most often localized to the legs. It is characterized by a thickening of the arterial walls which hinders the flow of blood and causes pain during walking (intermittent claudication). Arteritis of the lower limbs increases the risk of myocardial infarction and requires medication. At an advanced stage, it can be treated surgically.
Synonym: arteriopathy obliterans of the lower limbs.


diarrhea
The strict medical sense of diarrhea is "stool delivery too frequent and too abundant". In fact, common sense equates diarrhea with the notion of frequent, liquid stools. Normally, the stools are pasty, but the emission of liquid stools or barely formed, without pain or particular associated disorder, is not pathological. One can speak of diarrhea when the liquid stool emissions are repeated during the day, and that the needs are imperious or painful.
Many drugs can accelerate intestinal transit and make the stool more liquid, without this undesirable effect being really worrying.
Antibiotics can alter the digestive flora, essential for digestion, and cause diarrhea more or less troublesome but benign. The effect appears immediately or after a few days of treatment. A form of severe and exceptional diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, can be observed after antibiotic treatment; this condition results in the emission of mucus and false membranes (resembling skin flaps) associated with abdominal pain; constipation may replace the initial diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis can occur several days after stopping antibiotic treatment and requires urgent medical advice.

overdose
Excessive intake of a drug may lead to an increase in the intensity of the adverse effects, or even to the occurrence of particular adverse effects.
This overdose can result from an accidental intoxication, or voluntary for the purpose of suicide: it is then advisable to consult the poison control center of your region (list in appendix of the work). But most often, the overdose is the consequence of an error in the understanding of the prescription, or the search for an increase of the effectiveness by a surpassing the recommended dosage. Finally, untimely self-medication can lead to the excessive absorption of the same substance contained in different drugs. Some drugs are particularly exposed to this risk, because they are considered (wrongly) as harmless: vitamins A and D, aspirin, etc. Stopping or decreasing drug intake can eliminate the problems associated with overdose.
