Nicorette Freshmint spray, 1 mg, 39.6 ml, + Nicorette Clear 10 mg, 21 patches, Mcneil

Nicorette Freshmint spray, 1 mg, 3x13.2 ml

Nicorette Freshmint is used to help you quit smoking when you want to or to reduce your smoking before quitting completely. It is part of a class of treatments called Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).

Nicorette Freshmint relieves nicotine withdrawal symptoms, including nicotine cravings, which are common symptoms you experience when you quit smoking. When you suddenly stop giving your body the nicotine found in tobacco, you will experience various types of unpleasant sensations, called withdrawal symptoms.

By using Nicorette Freshmint, you can prevent or reduce these unpleasant sensations and the urge to smoke. This is because the medicine still provides your body with a small amount of nicotine, for a short period of time. Nicorette Berrymint does not contain tar, carbon monoxide or other toxins from cigarette smoke.

To improve your chances of helping yourself quit smoking, you should also seek advice and support, where possible.

Composition:

The active substance is nicotine.

One sprayed dose delivers 1 mg nicotine

The other ingredients are: propylene glycol (E1520), anhydrous ethanol, trometamol, poloxamer 407, glycerin (E422), sodium hydrogen carbonate, levomenthol, mint flavor, Cooler flavor, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, butylated hydroxytoluene (E321), hydrochloric acid 10% (for pH adjustment) and purified water.

Method of administration:

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Press the black button until you can push it in slightly

While pressing the button, slide up and continue until the top of the sprayer locks into place.

Before first use, prime the pump by pressing the top firmly until a fine spray appears. If you do not use the spray for several days, you may need to repeat this step.

Press the top of the sprayer firmly to spray into your mouth, avoiding your lips. For best results, wait a few seconds before swallowing. Do not inhale the spray – you should not spray into your throat.

To close the sprayer, slide the button down until it can be easily pushed in. Then, while pushing, slide down to lock.

Use 1 or 2 sprays at the time you would normally smoke a cigarette or when the urge to smoke arises. If a single spray does not relieve the nicotine craving within a few minutes, a second spray should be used. If 2 sprays are needed, subsequent doses can be given as 2 consecutive sprays. Most smokers require about 1-2 sprays at intervals of 30 minutes to 1 hour.

For example, if you smoke an average of around 15 cigarettes a day, you should use 1 or 2 sprays at least 15 times throughout the day. Reduce the number of sprays per day after 6 weeks.

The maximum dose is 2 sprays at a time, 4 sprays per hour, and 64 sprays per day.

Instructions:

Press the top of the canister to release a spray into your mouth.

To avoid the spray getting into your throat, do not inhale while spraying.

For best results, do not swallow for a few seconds after spraying.

If you have any further questions on this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility

It is very important to quit smoking during pregnancy, as smoking can lead to poor growth of your baby. It can also lead to premature birth or stillbirth.

It is best if you can quit smoking without the use of nicotine-containing medicines. If you are unable to do this, Nicorette Freshmint should only be used after consultation with the healthcare professional supervising your pregnancy, your GP or a doctor from a centre specialising in helping people who want to quit smoking.

Nicorette Freshmint should be avoided during breastfeeding because nicotine passes into breast milk and may harm your baby.

If your doctor has recommended that you use Nicorette Freshmint, the spray should only be used after breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

No effects on the ability to drive or use machines have been observed.

Precautions:
Nicorette Clear should not be used by people who have never smoked.
The benefits of quitting smoking outweigh any risks associated with the correct use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
Users should be informed that if they continue to smoke while using the patches, they may experience an increased incidence of adverse effects due to the harmful effects of smoking, including cardiovascular effects.

Pregnancy, lactation and fertility:
Combination therapy should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Women of childbearing age / Contraception in women and men
Unlike the well-known negative effects of smoking on human conception and pregnancy, the effects of nicotine treatment are unknown. Thus, to date there is no specific advice needed regarding female contraception, the most prudent stance for women planning to become pregnant should be to both quit smoking and use NRT.
While smoking may have adverse effects on male fertility, there is no evidence that specific contraceptive measures are necessary during TSN treatment in men.
Task:
Smoking during pregnancy is associated with risks such as intrauterine growth retardation, premature birth, and stillbirth. Quitting smoking is the single most effective intervention for improving the health of both the pregnant smoker and her baby. The sooner nicotine abstinence is achieved, the better.
Nicotine passes to the fetus and affects breathing and circulation. The effect on circulation is dose-dependent.
Therefore, pregnant smokers should always be advised to quit smoking completely, without the use of nicotine replacement therapy. The risk of continuing to smoke may pose a greater risk to the fetus than the use of nicotine replacement products in a supervised smoking cessation program. The use of Nicorette Clear by pregnant smokers should only be initiated on the advice of a doctor.
Breastfeeding :
Nicotine passes freely into breast milk in quantities that may affect the infant, even at therapeutic doses. Nicorette Clear should therefore be avoided during breastfeeding. If smoking cessation cannot be achieved, the use of Nicorette Clear for breastfeeding smokers should only be initiated on medical advice.
Fertility:
In women, smoking causes delays in the fertile period of the menstrual cycle, decreases the success rates of in vitro fertilization, and significantly increases the risk of infertility.
In men, smoking reduces sperm production, increases oxidative stress, and causes DNA damage. The sperm of smokers have reduced fertilizing capacity. The specific contribution of nicotine to these effects is not known.

Driving and using machines:
Nicorette Clear has no or negligible effects on the ability to drive and use machines.
