Your Path to a Smoke-Free Future

At Weldricks Pharmacy, we're committed to supporting your health goals. These Nicotine Replace 4mg Lozenges are a trusted tool in your guide to quitting smoking for good. For best results, follow the dosage instructions carefully and consider combining with behavioural support programmes. Remember, stopping smoking is always beneficial for your health.

Always read the patient information leaflet before use. Your lozenges are a stop smoking aid. They can reduce your urge to smoke by providing some of the nicotine previously inhaled from cigarettes and helps you resist cigarettes. Because the lozenges do not contain the tar or carbon monoxide of cigarette smoke, they do not have the health dangers of tobacco. This pack contains lozenges which are for smokers who smoke their first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up.

How to take your lozenges:

• Place one lozenge in your mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly. Move the lozenge from one side of your mouth to the other, the action should be repeated for 20 to 30 minutes until the lozenge is completely dissolved.
• Do not chew or swallow the lozenge.
• 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 15 lozenges per day.
• Do not use more than one lozenge at a time.

Adults aged 18 years and over:

Stopping smoking straightaway:

Use the lozenges according to the 3-step gradual reduction programme below, which is designed to help you manage your cravings and gradually cut down on the number of cigarettes you smoke each day, making it easier to quit completely in the future.

After 12 weeks, you should have stopped smoking completely. If you are worried that you may start smoking again, talk to a healthcare professional.

Cutting down on smoking before you stop smoking altogether:

You may find it easier to cut down completely later if you use Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to help you reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke each day by as many as possible. Gradually replace cigarettes with Nicotine Replace 4mg Lozenges Peppermint Pack of 36, aiming to reduce your daily cigarette consumption. You should quit smoking completely by 6 months. If you have not been able to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day after 6 weeks, talk to a healthcare professional.

Do not take this medicine if you:

• Are allergic to nicotine or any of the other ingredients in Nicotine Replace 4mg Lozenges Peppermint Pack of 36.
• Are a non-smoker.
• Are under 12 years of age. The level of nicotine in NRT is not suitable for children under 12. Children are more susceptible to the effects of nicotine, and it could cause severe toxicity, which can be fatal.

If you are in hospital because of a heart attack, severe heart rhythm disturbances or a stroke - you should try to quit smoking without using nicotine lozenges, unless your doctor tells you to use them - once you are discharged from hospital, you can use these lozenges as normal.

Please see your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine if you:

• Have heart or circulation problems including heart failure or stable angina (episodes of chest discomfort that are usually predictable).
• Have high blood pressure.
• Have occlusive peripheral artery disease - which is a narrowing of the blood vessels outside of your heart.
• Suffer from phenylketonuria, a rare inherited metabolic disorder (as this product contains aspartame E951).
• Have serious liver or kidney disease.
• Have a stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer.
• Have inflammation of the oesophagus (oesophagitis).
• Are diabetic, as diabetic patients need to monitor their blood glucose levels more closely as nicotine absorption may make blood glucose levels more unstable.
• Have been diagnosed as having a tumour of the adrenal glands (phaeochromocytoma) or thyroid glands (hyperthyroidism).
• Have had allergic reactions (see also section 5 “Possible side effects”).

Smoking when you are pregnant is harmful:

You should try to quit smoking without NRT. If you cannot, using NRT is less dangerous than smoking. Try to breastfeed just before you take the lozenge. When the nicotine levels in your lozenge are at their lowest, that way your baby gets as little nicotine as possible.
