Nicotinell Extra Strength 4mg Lozenge Peppermint – 216 Lozenges
Nicotinell Extra Strength Lozenge delivers 4mg of nicotine in a smooth, peppermint-flavoured, sugar-free lozenge designed to help relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you’re cutting down or quitting smoking. Each lozenge dissolves gradually, releasing controlled amounts of nicotine that are absorbed through the lining of the mouth to help take the edge off urges—without smoke, tar, or odour.
The discreet, on-the-go format is ideal for moments when cravings strike (work, travel, social settings). This value pack of 216 lozenges supports continuous therapy, tapering, or combination strategies as recommended by your healthcare professional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I use the lozenge correctly?
A: Place one lozenge in your mouth and move it periodically from side to side, allowing it to dissolve slowly (about 20–30 minutes). Do not chew or swallow whole. Avoid food or acidic drinks (coffee, soft drinks, juice) 15 minutes before and during use as they can reduce absorption.
Q: How often can I use it?
A: Use one lozenge when cravings occur, typically 1 lozenge every 1–2 hours initially. Do not exceed the maximum daily number stated on your pack. Gradually reduce the number of lozenges per day as your urges lessen.
Q: Who should choose the 4mg strength?
A: The 4mg lozenge is usually recommended for people with stronger nicotine dependence (e.g., first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking). Others may consider 2mg. Ask your pharmacist or doctor which strength suits you.
Q: Can I combine lozenges with a nicotine patch?
A: Some quit plans use a patch for background support plus lozenges for breakthrough cravings. Only combine under advice from a healthcare professional.
Q: How long should I use Nicotinell lozenges?
A: Many programs run for 8–12 weeks, then taper. Duration varies—follow the directions on pack or your professional’s plan.
Q: Any tips to improve success?
A: Pair the lozenges with a quit plan: set a date, identify triggers, use support, and reduce dose over time. Consistency is key.
Q: Can I use these with dentures or sensitive teeth?
A: Yes—because you don’t chew them. If irritation occurs, pause use and seek advice.
Q: Are there any common side effects?
A: Possible effects include mouth/throat irritation, hiccups, nausea, indigestion, headache, dizziness. These often lessen as you perfect your technique and spacing between doses.
