651537 MICROTAB 2MG SUBLINGUAL TABLET NICOTINE WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NICORETTE ® 2MG SUBLINGUAL TABLET Please read this leaflet carefully before you start using this medicine. It provides useful information on how to use it safely. Keep the leaflet, you might need it again. If you think you are having side-effects, have any questions or are not sure about anything please ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. 1 WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS FOR NICORETTE ® Microtab is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It is used to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings for nicotine that you get when you try to stop smoking, or when you are cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke while trying to stop smoking. To help cut down or quit smoking you should also try to use a behavioural support programme to increase your chances of success. IMPORTANT: NICORETTE ® Microtab is a sublingual tablet which means it must be dissolved under the tongue and NOT swallowed or chewed. WHAT DOES NICORETTE ® MICROTAB DO? When you stop smoking, your body misses the nicotine that you have been absorbing. You may experience unpleasant feelings and a strong desire to smoke (craving). This indicates that you were dependent on nicotine. When you use NICORETTE ® Microtab, nicotine is released and passes into your body through the lining of your mouth. The nicotine released is sufficient to relieve the unpleasant nicotine withdrawal symptoms. It will also help to stop your craving to smoke but will not give you the “buzz” you get from smoking a cigarette. The benefits of stopping smoking far outweigh any potential risk from using nicotine from NRT. It is the toxins in cigarette smoke such as tar, lead, cyanide and ammonia that cause smoking related disease and death, not the nicotine. 2 BEFORE USING THIS MEDICINE X DO NOT USE NICORETTE ® MICROTAB: n if you have an allergy to nicotine or any of the other ingredients. !
