WHAT ARE NICABATE
MINIS USED FOR?
NICABATE Minis are a stop
smoking aid. They can help you stop
smoking over a few months. You
can also use them to help you stop
smoking more gradually over a
longer period of time.
They help you to give up smoking by
replacing some of the nicotine you
are used to getting from cigarettes. It
is the nicotine in cigarettes that can
make you physically addicted to
them. This type of treatment is
called Nicotine Replacement
Therapy (NRT).
NICABATE Minis contain a nicotine
resin and, when used, nicotine is
released slowly from the resin and
absorbed through the lining of the
mouth. This medicine can reduce
your urge to smoke by providing
some of the nicotine previously
inhaled from cigarettes and helps you
resist cigarettes. You may feel the
following withdrawal symptoms
when you stop smoking; anger,
irritability, frustration; anxiety;
difficulty concentrating; restlessness;
increased appetite and or weight
gain; insomnia; depression. The
nicotine in NICABATE Minis may
help relieve some or many of these
symptoms.
There are no health benefits to
smoking. It is always better to give
up smoking and using NRT can help.
In general any possible side effects
associated with NRT are far
outweighed by the well-established
dan
