1 What is the drug Nicorette Coolmint and for what purpose it is used.
The drug is used to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce nicotine cravings that occur when trying to stop smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes smoked when trying to quit. This treatment is for adult smokers aged 18 and older.
Nicorette Coolmint, 2 mg, lozenges are suitable for smokers with low nicotine dependence, i.e., who smoke their first cigarette during the day more than 30 minutes after waking up or who smoke 20 or fewer cigarettes per day.
The drug Nicorette Coolmint, 4 mg, lozenges is suitable for smokers with a high degree of nicotine dependence, i.e. who smoke their first cigarette during the day within 30 minutes of waking up or who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day.
The drug can help you stop smoking immediately or reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke before finally quitting. If the patient thinks he can stop smoking immediately, he should do so. However, if he or she feels that this will be too difficult, he or she may want to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked as a first step before achieving complete abstinence. More detailed information is presented in section 3 "How to use Nicorette Coolmint".
Nicorette Coolmint relieves withdrawal symptoms that occur after smoking cessation, including nicotine craving. When the body's supply of nicotine from tobacco is abruptly discontinued, various types of unpleasant sensations, known as withdrawal symptoms, develop, such as irritability, feelings of anger or depression, anxiety, restlessness, decreased attention, increased appetite or weight gain, a strong desire to smoke a cigarette (hunger), awakenings at night or sleep disturbances. The nicotine in Nicorette Coolmint can prevent or reduce the severity of these unpleasant sensations and reduce the desire to smoke a cigarette.
To increase the chance of a successful outcome of a smoking cessation attempt, you should also seek psychotherapeutic advice and support.

3 How to use the drug Nicorette Coolmint
Always take this medication as described in the leaflet or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist. How you take Nicorette Coolmint depends on whether you:
(a) quits smoking immediately
(b) quits smoking gradually
Adults (18 years and older)
(a) Immediate smoking cessation
Refers to immediate smoking cessation and the use of lozenges to reduce cigarette cravings.
- Begin treatment with 8 to 12 lozenges per day. As soon as the craving for a cigarette arises, place one lozenge tablet in the mouth and wait for it to dissolve.
- Use suction tablets in this way for up to 6 weeks, and then gradually reduce the number of tablets used per day.
- When the patient uses only 1 or 2 lozenges per day, he or she should discontinue them completely. After completely stopping smoking, the patient may sometimes feel a sudden urge to smoke a cigarette. In this case, the lozenge tablet can be used again.
(b) Gradual smoking cessation
Refers to starting to gradually replace some cigarettes with a lozenge tablet. Once this is achieved, smoking cigarettes are completely discontinued with the use of a lozenge tablet. Finally, the use of lozenges is also discontinued.
If you feel a strong desire to smoke a cigarette, use a Nicorette Coolmint lozenge tablet instead of a cigarette to control nicotine craving. Reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day to as few as possible. If the patient is unable to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day after 6 weeks, he should seek advice from the relevant medical professional.
As soon as the patient feels able to do so, he should stop smoking cigarettes completely. He should then follow the instructions for immediate smoking cessation outlined above. The patient should do this as soon as possible. If the attempt to completely stop smoking is unsuccessful within 6 months of starting the drug, consult an appropriate health care professional.
Do not exceed the specified dose. Follow instructions strictly and do not use more than 15 lozenges per day (24 hours).
If you feel the need to use the drug for more than 9 months in total, you should consult your doctor.
Children and adolescents
Adolescents aged 12-17 years
Nicorette Coolmint should be used only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Children under 12 years of age
The drug should not be administered to children under 12 years of age.
The drug is intended to be administered on the mucous membrane of the mouth. Place it in the mouth and wait for it to dissolve and release nicotine so that it can be absorbed into the body through the membrane lining the mouth.
Place one tablet in the mouth and move it occasionally from one side of the mouth to the other until it is completely dissolved. This should take less than 20 minutes. The lozenge tablet should not be chewed or swallowed whole. Do not eat or drink while the lozenge tablet is in the mouth.
How to deal with the temptation to relapse
If the patient:
- is worried that he or she may start smoking again,
- finds it difficult to stop taking the lozenges completely, he or she should seek advice from an appropriate health care professional. If the patient nevertheless starts smoking again, the relevant medical staff representative can advise him on how to get the best results from the use of subsequent courses of nicotine replacement therapy (NTZ).
Taking more than the recommended dose of Nicorette Coolmint
If you smoke cigarettes while taking Nicorette Coolmint, you may experience a nicotine overdose. If the drug is taken by a child or if you take a higher dose of Nicorette Coolmint than recommended, contact your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital. The doses of nicotine tolerated during treatment by adult smokers can lead to severe symptoms of intoxication and can prove fatal in children.
Symptoms of overdose include nausea (nausea), vomiting, increased saliva, abdominal pain, diarrhea, excessive sweating, headache, dizziness, hearing impairment and significant weakness. In high doses, these symptoms may be followed by low blood pressure, weak and irregular pulse, difficulty breathing, exhaustion, vascular collapse and generalized convulsions.
If you have any further concerns about the use of this drug, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and effects on fertility
It is very important to stop smoking during pregnancy, as it can lead to fetal stunting. It can also cause miscarriage or stillbirth.

Smoking increases the risk of infertility in men and women. The effect of nicotine on fertility is unknown.

However, if she fails to do so, she can use the drug Nicorette Coolmint, but only after consulting her pregnancy doctor, general practitioner or a doctor from a center specializing in treating tobacco addiction.
Nicorette Coolmint should not be taken while breastfeeding, as nicotine enters breast milk and can affect the baby. If your doctor prescribes the use of Nicorette Coolmint, the lozenge tablet should be taken immediately after breastfeeding and no later than 2 hours before nursing.
