NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges
NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges help you to stop smoking, whether you want to stop straightaway or reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke, perhaps before stopping completely. It works by replacing some of the nicotine you get from cigarettes (the addictive substance) without the more harmful substances you get from cigarette smoke such as tar, carbon dioxide and other toxins. This is known as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges reduce your cravings for cigarettes and helps you resist the urge to smoke, as well as relieving some of the unpleasant symptoms that smokers have when they try to give up, such as feeling ill or irritable.
NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges can also be used in situations where you are unable or unwilling to smoke, such as on aeroplanes or around children.
NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges should be used by those who smoke up to 20 cigarettes a day. If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day then start with NiQuitin Minis Mint 4mg Lozenges.
NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges are supplied in a handy pocket-sized dispenser for fast craving relief wherever and whenever you need it.
Your chances of stopping smoking will be greatly improved if you also take part in a support programme.
NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges are sugar free.
Directions
Adults and young people aged 12 years and over:
- Put one lozenge in your mouth and periodically move it from one side of your mouth to the other, until it is completely dissolved (around 10 minutes).
- Do not chew the lozenge or swallow whole.
- Do not use more than 15 lozenges a day.
For full directions, please read the Patient Information Leaflet.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Nicotine 2mg (in the form of nicotine resinate).
- Other Ingredients: Mannitol, sodium alginate, xanthan gum, potassium bicarbonate, calcium polycarbophil, sodium carbonate anhydrous, acesulfame potassium, mint flavour, sucralose and magnesium stearate.
Cautions
- The level of nicotine in NRT is not suitable for children under 12. Nicotine affects children more than adults. It could cause severe poisoning in children which can cause death.
- Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines. Stopping smoking may alter the effect of other medicines you may be taking. If you have any questions or concerns about this, talk to a healthcare professional.
- Nicotine Minis contain less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per lozenge, that is to say essentially sodium free.
Do not use NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges if:
- You are allergic to nicotine, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
- You are a non-smoker.
- You are aged under 12.
Talk to your healthcare professional before using NiQuitin Minis Mint 2mg Lozenges:
- If you have had a recent heart attack or stroke, or you suffer from severe heart rhythm problems, unstable or worsening angina pectoris (chest pain) or resting angina pectoris you should try to quit smoking without using any NRT products unless your doctor tells you to use them.
- If you have diabetes you should monitor your blood sugar levels more often than usual when you start using NiQuitin Minis. Your insulin or medicine requirements may change.
- If you have had allergic reactions that involve swelling of the lips, face and throat (angioedema) or itchy skin rash (urticaria). Using NRT can sometimes trigger this type of reaction.
- If you have a history of epilepsy (fits).
- If you have serious or moderate liver or kidney problems, because you may be more likely to get side-effects
- If you have uncontrolled overactive thyroid gland or phaeochromocytoma (a tumour of the adrenal gland that can affect blood pressure) - your doctor will have told you this - because nicotine may make your symptoms worse.
- If you have stomach or duodenal ulcers or an inflamed oesophagus or gullet (the passage between the mouth and stomach) because swallowing nicotine can make your symptoms worse. It may also cause mouth ulcers. If your symptoms do get worse, you should talk to your doctor. You might want to use a non-oral form of NRT instead, such as patches.
If you have any concerns about becoming dependent or think you have become dependent on this product.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding it is best if you can give up smoking without the use of NRT. However, it is better to stop
smoking using NRT than to continue smoking.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Smoking during pregnancy has risks for the baby. These include poor growth before birth, premature birth or stillbirth. Stopping smoking is the best way to improve both your health and that of your baby. The earlier you stop smoking the better.
Ideally, if you are pregnant, you should stop smoking without using NRT. However, if you have tried and this has not worked,
NRT may be recommended by a healthcare professional to help you stop smoking. This is because it is better for your developing baby than if you carry on smoking. The decision to use NRT should be made as early on as possible in your pregnancy. You should aim to use it for only 2-3 months. Remember, the most important thing is to stop smoking. Products such as lozenges may be preferable to nicotine patches. This is because with lozenges, you do not get the nicotine all the time.
However, patches may be preferred if you have nausea or sickness.
Breastfeeding
If you are breast feeding, tobacco smoke causes breathing difficulties and other problems in babies and children. Ideally you
should stop smoking without using NRT. However, if you have tried and this has not worked, NRT may be recommended by a
healthcare professional. If you need to use NRT to help you quit, the amount of nicotine your baby may get is small. It is much less harmful than breathing in second-hand smoke. It is best to use NRT products that are taken at certain times of the day (such as gum or lozenge, rather than patches). It is also better to breastfeed just before you take the product. This helps your baby to get the smallest amount of nicotine possible.
Driving and using machines
There are no known effects of Nicotine Minis on the ability to drive or use machines. However, you should be aware that giving
up smoking can cause behavioural changes that affect yourability to drive or use machines.
