The Nicorette® Microtab is the first sublingual (dissolves under the tongue) NRT tablet. It is particularly suitable for those who want a flexible but discreet form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
How does it work ?
When you use the Nicorette® Microtab, nicotine is released and absorbed into your body through the lining of your mouth. This nicotine can effectively relieve the withdrawal symptoms some people experience when giving up smoking.
How do I use Microtab ?
Place one Nicorette® Microtab under your tongue and allow it to slowly dissolve. (Do not swallow, suck or chew.) This will release the nicotine which is absorbed through the lining of your mouth. The number of Nicorette® Microtabs you use each day will depend on how many cigarettes you smoked and how strong they were. If you smoked less than 20 cigarettes per day, you should use one Nicorette® Microtab every hour, although you may want to increase to two Nicorette® Microtabs every hour if one is not relieving your cravings. If you smoke 20 or more cigarettes per day you should use two Nicorette® Microtabs every hour. (You must not use more than 40 Nicorette® Microtabs a day).
