Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs.

Usage

The Nicorette Inhaler is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help individuals quit smoking by providing nicotine to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It is used by puffing on it whenever the urge to smoke occurs, with an initial recommended dose of 6 to 12 cartridges per day and a maximum of 12.

Mechanism of Action:
The Nicorette Inhaler helps people quit smoking through nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It works by delivering nicotine vapor, which is absorbed through the lining of the mouth and throat, to manage the body's cravings and withdrawal symptoms without the harmful chemicals of cigarette smoke. By providing a controlled, steady dose of nicotine, the inhaler helps to satisfy the physical need for the drug. Also, it addresses the behavioral habit of holding something in your hand and bringing it to your mouth. This helps to make the process of quitting smoking more manageable by breaking the cycle of addiction.

Take the Nicorette Inhaler exactly as prescribed by your doctor, following the instructions on the official Nicorette Inhaler Canada website. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

• Signs of Nicotine Overdose: Symptoms may include severe headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or confusion.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before taking the Nicorette Inhaler, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do NOT use the Nicorette Inhaler if you have any of the following conditions:
• Hypersensitivity: A known allergy or hypersensitivity to nicotine or any of the other ingredients in the product.
• Recent Cardiovascular Event: You have experienced a heart attack within the last three months, or you have unstable angina or severe irregular heartbeat.
• Occasional or Non-Smoker: The product is not intended for and should not be used by occasional or non-smokers.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting the Nicorette Inhaler. This is crucial because conditions can affect whether the Nicorette Inhaler is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Asthma or Chronic Lung Disease: Nicotine can affect lung function.
• Cardiovascular Disease: Including high blood pressure, heart disease, or a history of stroke.
• Diabetes: Nicotine may impact blood sugar levels.
• Endocrine Disorders: Including hyperthyroidism or pheochromocytoma.
• Gastrointestinal Conditions: Such as esophagitis, gastric ulcers, or peptic ulcers, as nicotine can worsen these issues.
• Kidney or Liver Impairment: These conditions can affect how your body processes nicotine.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking the Nicorette Inhaler, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, please visit the Nicorette Inhaler prescribing information | Health Products Canada at https://health-products.canada.ca/lnhpd-bdpsnh/info?licence=02241742.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. When you quit smoking and begin using the Nicorette Inhaler, your body’s metabolism will change, which can affect the levels of certain medications you are taking. Your doctor may need to adjust the dosage of some drugs to ensure their continued safety and effectiveness.

Specific Interactions to Note:
• Bupropion: Your doctor should closely monitor your blood pressure if you are also taking bupropion, a medication used for smoking cessation or depression.
• Caffeine: Quitting smoking can make the effects of caffeine stronger. You may need to reduce your caffeine intake to avoid symptoms like jitteriness or insomnia.
• Insulin: If you have diabetes and use insulin, your dose may need to be lowered due to changes in blood sugar metabolism.
• Other Medications: The dosage of drugs for heart conditions (e.g., blood pressure medication) or asthma may need to be adjusted.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding:

For pregnant or breastfeeding women, the safest choice is to quit smoking entirely without using any aids. If this is not achievable, healthcare providers generally agree that using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as the Nicorette Inhaler, is a significantly safer alternative to continued smoking.

The Nicorette Inhaler delivers nicotine to manage cravings without the thousands of other harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke, which are known to cause severe health problems for both mother and baby.
• Pregnancy: While NRT is safer than smoking, the primary goal remains to minimize nicotine exposure to the fetus.
• Breastfeeding: A minimal amount of nicotine from the inhaler is transferred into breast milk, an amount far less than from smoking. The benefits of breastfeeding are generally considered to outweigh this risk. To further reduce infant exposure, it is often recommended to use the inhaler immediately after a feeding.

Important Note:
The use of any nicotine replacement therapy during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be done exclusively under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Use in Children and Adolescents:

The Nicorette Inhaler is not recommended for children under 12 years of age, as even small amounts of nicotine can be highly toxic or fatal to this age group. For adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18, the use of this product is generally advised only under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Although research on the long-term effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in this population is limited, many medical experts support its use for heavily addicted teenagers who are committed to quitting smoking. This is because the health risks associated with continued smoking are considered significantly greater than the risks of using the inhaler under medical guidance.

Safety Precautions:
It is crucial to keep all parts of the inhaler, including used cartridges, out of the reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion and nicotine poisoning.
