Which strength should you start with?

If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day: 1-2 mg lozenge.
If you smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day: 2 mg lozenge.

How to use Nicotinell lozenge:
1. Suck until the nicotine flavor intensifies.
2. Rest the lozenge in your cheek until the flavor fades.
3. When the flavor diminishes, you can start sucking again.
4. Repeat for about 30 minutes until the lozenge is gone.

How many and for how long?
Take a lozenge when you feel cravings, typically 8-12 lozenges per day. The maximum daily dose for the 2 mg lozenge is 15, and for the 1 mg lozenge, it's 30 lozenges.
Continue using the lozenges for up to 3 months to break the smoking habit, then gradually reduce the number of lozenges per day. When your daily intake is down to 1-2 lozenges, you should stop using them altogether.

Regular use of Nicotinell lozenges for more than 6 months is generally not recommended, but some former smokers may need lozenge treatment for a longer period to avoid relapse.

Combination therapy - For those who need extra support
Start treatment with a 21 mg/24 hours patch combined with Nicotinell 1 mg lozenge.
Use at least 4 lozenges (1 mg) per day. In most cases, 5-6 lozenges are sufficient. Do not exceed 15 lozenges per day. Typically, treatment should last for 6-12 weeks. After that, gradually reduce the nicotine dose.
Reducing nicotine dose after the first 6-12 weeks:
This can be done in 2 ways.
Option 1: Use a lower strength patch, i.e., a 14 mg/24 hours patch for 3-6 weeks, followed by a 7 mg/24 hours patch for another 3-6 weeks, along with the initial dose of Nicotinell 1 mg lozenge. After that, gradually reduce the number of lozenges. Longer treatment than 6 months is generally not recommended. However, some former smokers may need treatment for longer to avoid relapse, but treatment should not exceed 9 months.
Option 2: Stop patch treatment and gradually reduce the number of 1 mg lozenges. Longer treatment than 6 months is generally not recommended. However, some former smokers may need treatment for longer to avoid relapse, but treatment should not exceed 9 months.

Those using the lozenge for longer than 6 months are advised to seek further help and advice from healthcare professionals.
