Nicorette can be used as you inhale or puff through the mouthpiece, the inhaler releases a vapor containing nicotine, which is absorbed through the lining of your mouth and throat. One cartridge contains enough nicotine for about 20 minutes of continuous puffing.
The frequency and dosage of a nicotine inhaler can vary depending on the individual and their smoking habits. In general, it is recommended to follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional. For the first few weeks of therapy, adults may use 6 cartridges per day, which can be adjusted based on the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Use the inhaler whenever there is an urge to smoke, or every 2 to 4 hours, but the maximum number of cartridges per day should not exceed 16. Consult with a healthcare provider before starting or adjusting any medication or treatment plan.
To use the Nicorette Inhaler:
- Remove the mouthpiece from its plastic wrapping.
- Take the cartridge tray out of the inhaler.
- Insert the cartridge into the open end of the inhaler. Make sure the end of the cartridge with the small plastic tab is pushed all the way into the inhaler.
- Replace the top on the mouthpiece.
- To release a dose of nicotine, take small, shallow puffs into your mouth without inhaling into your lungs. You may repeat this process every 1-2 minutes for up to 20 minutes. Do not chew or swallow the cartridge.
- When you have finished using the inhaler, remove the cartridge and discard it.
Do not use more than 16 cartridges per day during the first six weeks of treatment and use as few cartridges as possible to control cravings. As with any medication, consult with a doctor or healthcare professional before use.
