Nicorette lozenges are a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) used to help people quit or reduce smoking. They contain nicotine, which is absorbed mainly through the lining of the mouth.
How they work
When you have a craving, you place a lozenge in your mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly. The nicotine helps reduce:
Cigarette cravings
Irritability
Restlessness
Difficulty concentrating
Other nicotine withdrawal symptoms
How to use them
Typically:
1. Place one lozenge in your mouth.
2. Let it dissolve slowly, occasionally moving it from one side of your mouth to the other.
3. Don't chew, suck aggressively, or swallow it whole.
4. Avoid eating or drinking while it is dissolving, particularly acidic drinks such as coffee, soda, or fruit juice, as these can affect nicotine absorption.
