Description
Galpharm Nicotine Replace 4mg Lozenges relieve nicotine cravings and the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as feeling ill or irritable that you may feel when you stop smoking. They are a type of treatment called Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and work by releasing nicotine which is absorbed through the lining of the mouth to provide you with your nicotine "fix" but without the harmful carbon monoxide, tar or other toxins found in cigarette smoke.
The lozenges are part of a programme designed to support your wish to stop smoking. Using the lozenges at regular intervals gives your body the nicotine you need to help stop you smoking.
Galpharm Nicotine Replace 4mg Lozenges are for those who smoke their first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking. If you first smoke more than 30 minutes after waking up, use Galpharm Nicotine Replace 2mg Lozenges.
Galpharm Nicotine Replace 4mg Lozenges are sugar free and have a peppermint flavour.
How to Use
Place 1 lozenge in the side of the mouth and allow to dissolve.
At intervals, the lozenge should be moved from one side of the mouth to the other; the action should be repeated for 20 to 30 minutes until the lozenge is completely dissolved.
The lozenge should not be chewed or swallowed whole.
Do not eat or drink while a lozenge is in the mouth as this may reduce the absorption of nicotine.
Do not use more than one lozenge at a time.
Do not use more than 15 lozenges per day.
