Nicotinell Nicotine Lozenge, Quit Smoking Aid, Sugar Free Mint Flavour, 2 mg, 204 Pieces

Product Information

Nicotine, the primary alkaloid in tobacco products and a naturally occurring autonomous substance, is a nicotine receptor agonist in the peripheral and central nervous systems and has pronounced CNS and cardiovascular effects. Nicotinell lozenges provide on-the-go relief when the urge to smoke strikes and dissolves in the mouth to release a dose of nicotine to help satisfy that urge.

Don’t think of it as having failed, just think through the reasons why you wanted to quit in the first place and don’t let those couple of cigarettes get the better of you. If an adverse event occurs with the use of the high dose form (2 mg lozenge), use of the low dose form (1 mg lozenge) should be considered. Distribution volume after intravenous administration of nicotine is approximately 2-3 1/kg and the half- life is 2 hours.

The first few weeks of quitting or reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke will probably be the most difficult because your smoking ritual is still fresh in your mind. Concomitant use of acidic beverages such as coffee or soda may decrease the buccal absorption of nicotine.

The main metabolite in urine is cotinine (15% of the dose) and trans-3-hydroxy cotinine (45% of the dose). Table 1 shows events which were identified from a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled lozenge clinical study involving 1818 patients.
