Habitrol Lozenges 1mg Mint Flavour 36s
Habitrol 1mg Mint Flavoured lozenges are intended to aid smoking cessation by reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
We recommend 1mg lozenges if you are smoking less than 20 cigarettes a day. You do not need to suck the same number of lozenges as the number of cigarettes you used to smoke. You can use the lozenge on a regular basis throughout the day (say, every hour or so) or you can use the lozenge when you feel you need to. If you are using the lozenges regularly through the day we recommend that you do not exceed a maximum usage of 24 lozenges per day.
The nicotine is absorbed into the blood stream through the lining of the mouth when the lozenge is chewed. Habitrol lozenges 1mg Mint Flavoured contains approximately one third less nicotine than a cigarette, and allows you to avoid the harmful physical and chemical effects associated with smoking.
The recommended minimum length of treatment is three months. You can follow the recommended 12-week dosage program, or you can use the lozenges as needed.
Sucking a piece of Habitrol lozenge 1mg Mint Flavoured at the onset of nicotine cravings should alleviate nicotine cravings and/or withdrawal symptoms.
Most people find they can cease using the lozenges after six months, but some heavy smokers choose to continue using the lozenges in order to prevent relapse.
