Directions

ADULT DOSAGE (>18 yrs): The NICORETTE® INHALER may be used to calm the craving for a cigarette and to satisfy the hand-to-mouth ritual of the smoker. For best results, you should use at least 6 cartridges per day for the first 3 to 12 weeks. Do not use more than 12 cartridges in one day. After 3 to 12 weeks of therapy, you can either decide to stop using the Inhaler or slowly reduce the number of cartridges used each day over the next 6 to 12 weeks. You can also use NICODERM® Patch in combination with NICORETTE® Inhaler for a successful quit. DIRECTIONS: Insert cartridge into mouthpiece and inhale deeply into the back of your throat or puff in short breaths. Each cartridge lasts for approximately 20 minutes of frequent continuous puffing. Try different schedules to help control cravings and use the Inhaler at times when you most crave a cigarette. Puffing on the Inhaler for 5 minutes at a time will give you enough nicotine for 4 uses. Puffing on the Inhaler for 10 minutes at a time will give you enough nicotine for 2 uses. In a few days you’ll find what works best for you and know when nicotine in cartridge is used up. Use at room temperature (between 15 and 30 °C)

Warnings and precautions

Like all drugs, the NICORETTE(R) Inhaler can cause side effects. Many people experience mild irritation of the mouth or throat, and cough when they first use it. Stomach upset may occur. In clinical studies, the frequency of cough and mouth or throat irritation declined with the continued use of the NICORETTE(R) Inhaler. Allergic reactions (including symptoms of anaphylaxis) occur rarely during use. Signs of a nicotine overdose include bad headaches, dizziness, nausea/upset stomach, drooling, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, cold sweat, blurred vision, difficulty hearing, mental confusion, weakness, fainting, rapid heartbeat or difficulty breathing. At high doses, these symptoms may be followed by low blood pressure, weak and irregular pulse, breathing difficulties, extreme exhaustion, circulatory collapse and general convulsions. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using this product and consult your doctor or local Poison Control Centre immediately. Do not use if you are under 18 years of age, are pregnant or breastfeeding, are an occasional or non-smoker or are allergic to nicotine or any of the non-medicinal ingredients in the product.

Before you use NICORETTE® Inhaler talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have diabetes, because you may need to monitor your blood sugar levels more closely than normal when you stop smoking and start using this product.
