Do not eat or drink while the patient has a lozenge in their mouth. Avoid drinking acidic beverages such as coffee or soda for 15 minutes prior to sucking the lozenge because they may affect the absorption of nicotine.

Do not use more than 5 lozenges in 6 hours. Do not use more than 20 lozenges per day.
If an adverse event occurs with the use of the higher dose form of Nicotine Polacrilex Mini Lozenge, it is recommended to use the lower dose form or consult a healthcare professional.
Duration of use: For best results, the patient is recommended to complete the 12-week treatment course. If the patient is still using the lozenge after 12 weeks, the patient should gradually reduce the nicotine dose and discontinue when the dose has been reduced to 1-2 pieces/day. If the patient is still using nicotine lozenge after 6 months, talk to a healthcare professional for advice.
Nicotine Polacrilex Mini Lozenge sucking technique: One lozenge should be placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve. Periodically, the lozenge should be moved from one side of the mouth to the other and repeated until the lozenge is completely dissolved (approximately 20-30 minutes for lozenges). Sucking the lozenge slowly can help to overcome some of the side effects. The lozenge must not be chewed or swallowed. Users should not eat or drink while a lozenge is in the mouth.
What should the patient do if they miss a dose: Continue medication based on dosage and/or consult a doctor.
