      What is the NICORETTE® Microtab?

      The NICORETTE® Microtab is the only sublingual (dissolves under the tongue) nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) tablet.

      The nicotine tablet is particularly suitable for those who want a flexible but discreet form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to help them kick the nicotine habit and stop smoking for good.

      How does the NICORETTE® Microtab work?

      Place one NICORETTE® Microtab under your tongue and allow it to slowly dissolve. (Do not swallow, suck or chew.) This will release the nicotine, which is absorbed through the lining of your mouth.

      The number of NICORETTE® Microtabs you use each day will depend on how many cigarettes you smoked and how strong they were:

      • If you smoked up to 20 cigarettes per day
      • If you smoked 20 cigarettes or fewer per day, you should use one NICORETTE® Microtab every hour, although you may want to increase to two NICORETTE® Microtabs every hour if one is not relieving your cravings.
      • If you smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day
      • If you smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day you should use two NICORETTE® Microtabs every hour. (You must not use more than 40 NICORETTE® Microtabs a day).

      Instructions:

      The disc should not be turned in the opposite direction to the arrow.

      • 1. Place the disc on the peg in the tablet dispenser with the flat side facing downwards.
      • 2. Close the dispenser and press on the punch to push the tablet out of the strip.
      • 3. Turn the disc in the direction of the arrow to place the next tablet into position

      NICORETTE® Microtab Reduction Guide

      It is recommended that you use the nicotine tablets for at least 12 weeks. After 12 weeks you should aim to gradually reduce the number of NICORETTE® Microtabs used each day. When you are only using one or two Microtabs per day you should think of finishing the course. Use beyond nine months is not recommended.

      Full Instructions are available in the pack leaflet, and remember if you have any questions about NICORETTE® Microtab, ask you pharmacist or local GP for advice and always read the label. Alternatively ring 01344 864 042.
