if you have an allergy to nicotine or
any of the other ingredients.

age.
! Talk to your doctor, nurse or
pharmacist…
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding – you may be able to use
nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to
help you give up smoking but you
should try to give up without it. See ”If
you are pregnant or breast-feeding”
section.
if you are in hospital because of
heart disease (including heart attack,
disorders of heart rate or rhythm,
angina, high blood pressure or stroke).
In other heart conditions not requiring
you to be in hospital, using NRT is
better than continuing to smoke.
if you have a stomach ulcer,
duodenal ulcer, inflammation of the
stomach or inflammation of the
oesophagus (passage between the
mouth and stomach).
if you have liver or kidney disease.
if you have an overactive thyroid
gland or have a phaeochromocytoma
(a tumour of the adrenal gland that can
affect blood pressure) – your doctor
will have told you this.
if you have diabetes – monitor your
blood sugar levels more often when
starting to use nicorette cools lozenge
as you may find your insulin or
medication requirements alter.
if you are taking any other medicines
such as theophylline, clozapine or
ropinirole. Stopping smoking may
require the dose of these medicines to
be adjusted.
➤If any of these applies, talk to your
doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
! If you are pregnant or
breast-feeding
If you are pregnant:
1) Firstly, you should try to give up
smoking without NRT. Stopping
completely is by far the best option.
The earlier and quicker you do this
the better it is for you and your
baby.
2) Secondly, if you can’t manage this,
you can use NRT as a safer
alternative to smoking as the risks to
your baby are far less than smoking,
however you should
talk to your doctor, nurse or
pharmacist for advice.
Products that are used intermittently,
including NICORETTE® cools lozenge,
may be preferable to nicotine patches.
However, patches may be more suitable
if you have nausea or sickness. If you do
use patches take them off before going
to bed at night.
If you are breast-feeding:
1) Firstly, you should try to give up
smoking without NRT.
2) Secondly, if you can’t manage
this you are best to use NRT
products that are taken intermittently
(not patches), however you should talk
to your doctor, nurse or
pharmacist for advice. Breast-feed just
before you use NICORETTE® cools
lozenge to ensure that the baby gets
the smallest amount of nicotine
possible.
If you do need to use NRT to help you
quit, the amount of nicotine that the baby
may receive is considerably smaller and
less harmful than the second-hand
smoke they would inhale if you smoked.
Tobacco smoke produces breathing and
other problems in babies and children.
