Nicorette Microtab 105 GSL Pack.
Nicorette Microtab is for the treatment of nicotine dependence and for the relief of withdrawal symptoms caused by giving up smoking.
Directions:
Adults 18 years and over and the elderly: the patient should be urged to give up smoking completely when initiating therapy with this product. The initial dose is based on the individual's nicotine dependence. The tablet is used sublingually with a recommended dose of 1 tablet per hour or, for heavy smokers (smoking more than 20 cigarettes per day), 2 tablets per hour. Increasing to 2 tablets per hour may be considered for patients who fail to stop smoking with the one-tablet-per-hour regimen or for those whose nicotine withdrawal symptoms remain so strong as to forsee a relapse. Most smokers require 8-12 or 16-24 tablets per day, not to exceed 40 tablets. The duration of treatment is individual, but at least 3 months of treatment is recommended. The nicotine dose should then be gradually reduced, by decreasing the total number of tablets used per day. The treatment should be stopped when the daily consumption is down to 1 or 2 tablets. Nicotine dosage beyond 6 months is not generally recommended.
