Good Neighbor Pharmacy Nicotine Mini is a lozenge that helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings when you quit smoking. It works by providing a small dose of nicotine to ease your body's need for it. You should start using the lozenge on your quit day, taking either a 2 mg lozenge if you smoke your first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up, or a 4 mg lozenge if you smoke within 30 minutes. For the first six weeks, you should aim to use at least 9 lozenges a day, but do not use more than 20 lozenges in a day. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should only use this medication if your healthcare provider advises it, as smoking can harm your child.
