MedDataToolNicotine Mini is a medication that helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings when you quit smoking. It works by delivering a small amount of nicotine to your body, which can help ease the transition away from cigarettes. You should start using the lozenge on your quit day, taking either a 4 mg lozenge if you smoke within 30 minutes of waking up or a 2 mg lozenge if you smoke later; you’ll use it according to a schedule over 12 weeks, starting with 1 lozenge every 1 to 2 hours for the first 6 weeks. It's important to know that if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, you should only use this medication if your healthcare provider advises it. Additionally, if you have heart disease or high blood pressure that isn’t controlled, you should consult your doctor before using it.
