Dosing Schedule:

The instructions about how to use Nicotinell Rapid Relief 1mg Nicotine Mouth Spray Single depend on whether you are stopping smoking/vaping immediately or are cutting down the number of cigarettes/e-cigarettes gradually before stopping completely.

Stopping Smoking/Vaping Immediately:

The aim is to stop smoking/vaping immediately and use the spray to relieve the cravings to smoke/vape.

Do not use more than 2 sprays at a time or 4 sprays per hour for 16 hours. The maximum dose is 64 sprays over 16 hours in any 24-hour period.

Step 1: Weeks 1-6

Use 1 or 2 sprays when you would normally smoke/vape a cigarette/e-cigarette or have cravings to smoke/vape. Use one spray first and if your cravings do not disappear within a few minutes use the second spray. If 2 sprays are required, future doses may be delivered as 2 consecutive sprays. For most smokers/vapers this means about 1 or 2 sprays every 30 minutes to 1 hour.

For example, if you smoke/vape an average of 15 cigarettes/e-cigarettes per day, you should use 1 or 2 sprays at least 15 times during the day.

Step 2: Weeks 7-9

Start reducing the number of sprays per day. By the end of week 9 you should be using HALF the average number of sprays per day that you used in Step 1.

Step 3: Weeks 10-12

Continue reducing the number of sprays per day so that you are not using more than 4 sprays per day during week 12. When you have reduced to 2-4 sprays per day, you should stop using Nicotinell Rapid Relief 1mg Nicotine Mouth Spray Single.

Stopping Smoking/Vaping Gradually:

The aim is to start by gradually replacing some of your cigarettes/e-cigarettes with Nicotinell Rapid Relief 1mg Nicotine Mouth Spray Single. After achieving this, you then stop smoking/vaping cigarettes/e-cigarettes completely while using the spray. Finally, you stop using the spray.

• When you feel a strong urge to smoke/vape, use 1-2 sprays instead of a cigarette to help you manage your cravings.
• The spray is to replace a cigarette/e-cigarette, do not smoke/vape shortly after using the spray. Using the spray without reducing your number of cigarettes/e-cigarettes will make you feel sick.
• Cut down the number of cigarettes/e-cigarettes you smoke/vape per day, as much as possible and replace them with a spray. If a reduction in cigarette/e-cigarette consumption has not been achieved after 6 weeks of treatment, seek the advice from a doctor.
• As soon as you feel ready, you should quit completely but no later than 12 weeks after start of treatment. After quitting smoking/vaping gradually reduce the number of sprays per day. When you have reduced to 2-4 sprays per day, stop using Nicotinell Rapid Relief 1mg Nicotine Mouth Spray Single.
• Do not use more than 2 sprays at a time or 4 sprays per hour for 16 hours. The maximum dose is 64 sprays over 16 hours in any 24-hour period.
• You may be tempted to smoke/vape again after treatment has stopped. Save any remaining doses of the spray, as craving for smoking/vaping may suddenly occur. If you have a craving, use one or two sprays if one spray does not help within a few minutes.
