- recently (within 3 months) have had a heart attack<\/strong> or stroke<\/strong><\/li>

- chronic throat disease<\/strong> or disease that causes respiratory cramps<\/strong><\/li>
- inflammation of the esophagus<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
However, the risk of continued smoking always poses a greater danger than the use of Nicorette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Young people between the ages of 12 and 17 should only use Nicorette on the advice of a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicorette should not be used by children under 12 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nicotine plug contains enough nicotine even after use to be able to poison a child and must therefore be kept out of the reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other drugs and Nicorette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, or might take other medicines. This is especially important if you are taking medicines that contain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- theophylline<\/strong> to treat asthma<\/li>
- tacrine<\/strong> for Alzheimer’s disease<\/li>
- clozapine<\/strong> for schizophrenia<\/li>
- ropinirole<\/strong> to treat Parkinson’s disease<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Use of Nicorette with food and drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You should not eat or drink while using the inhaler.\u00a0Beverages that lower the\u00a0pH\u00a0in the oral cavity, e.g.\u00a0coffee, juices, and soft drinks can reduce the uptake of nicotine into the oral cavity.\u00a0These drinks should be avoided 15 minutes before using the inhaler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is very important to stop smoking during pregnancy because smoking can impair fetal growth.\u00a0Smoking can also cause the baby to be born prematurely or lead to miscarriage.\u00a0It is best if you can stop smoking without using nicotine-containing medicines.\u00a0If you are unable to do this, use Nicorette only after consulting your healthcare provider, your doctor, or a doctor who specializes in smoking cessation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicorette should be avoided during breastfeeding as nicotine passes into breast milk and may affect your baby.\u00a0If your healthcare professional has recommended that you use Nicorette, use the inhaler immediately after breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smoking increases the risk of infertility in women and men. The effects of nicotine on fertility are unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
No effects on the ability to drive or use machines have been observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to use Nicorette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0can be used alone or in combination with Nicorette\u00a0transdermal patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treatment with Nicorette Inhaler only<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can puff on the Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0in the same way you do with a cigarette.\u00a0The amount of nicotine you get from a puff on the Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0is much less than what you get from a cigarette.\u00a0You should therefore use the Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0more intensively than when smoking to control your desire to smoke.\u00a0It is therefore recommended that you use the Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler at each use (which can be about 10-20 minutes)with about 8-10 times more puffs than a cigarette.\u00a0The user can always be terminated when the effect on the smoke extraction has been achieved.\u00a0Each nicotine plug replaces about 3-4 cigarettes.\u00a0You should use 6-12 nicotine plugs per day to achieve the best results.\u00a0Fewer than 6 nicotine plugs can result in you not being able to control your desire to smoke.\u00a0To maximize the chances of success, it is important not to underdose.\u00a0An opened nicotine plug should be used within 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A maximum of 12 nicotine plugs per day should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amount of nicotine you get from Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0is temperature-dependent.\u00a0In cold weather, you need to use the Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0for longer periods to get the same effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smoking cessation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe treatment time must be long enough, normally the treatment should last for three months.\u00a0Thereafter, the nicotine dose is gradually reduced.\u00a0Treatment should be stopped when\u00a0dose\u00a0one has been reduced to 1 nicotine plug per day.\u00a0A treatment period longer than\u00a012 months<\/strong>\u00a0is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn some cases, longer treatment times may be necessary to avoid a relapse into smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smoke reduction<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nNicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0is used between smoking periods to prolong smoke-free intervals and to reduce smoking as much as possible.\u00a0If a reduction in the number of cigarettes per day has not been achieved after 6 weeks, professional help should be sought.\u00a0Attempts to quit smoking should be made as soon as you feel ready, but no later than 6 months after starting treatment.\u00a0If it is not possible to make a serious attempt to quit smoking within 9 months after starting treatment, seek professional help (eg “Stop-smoking line”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
tel no. 020-84 00 00).\u00a0A treatment period longer than 12 months is not recommended.\u00a0In some cases, longer treatment times may be necessary to avoid a relapse into smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treatment with Nicorette Inhaler in combination with Nicorette transdermal patch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you have a high nicotine dependence, the experience that nicotine cravings occur despite the use of nicotine drugs or if you have failed treatment with a nicotine drug alone, you can use Nicorette\u00a0transdermal patches\u00a0with the Nicorette\u00a0Inhaler\u00a0for quick relief of nicotine cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial combination treatment<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nA 25 mg \/ 16-hour\u00a0transdermal patch\u00a0is applied in the morning and removed at bedtime for 8 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the Nicorette Inhaler with the patch as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the inhaler when you feel a puff of smoke even though you are using Nicorette\u00a0patches.\u00a0The usual\u00a0dose\u00a0is 4-5 nicotine plugs per day, however, a maximum of 12 nicotine plugs per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 8 weeks, gradually reduce the nicotine dose according to one of the following two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weaning from nicotine replacement therapy – option 1<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter the first 8 weeks, use patches with lower strength:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 patch 15 mg \/ 16 hours daily for 2 weeks followed by 1 patch 10 mg \/ 16 hours daily for another 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
