NICORETTE® Microtabs

NICORETTE® Microtab is the first sublingual (under the tongue) nicotine replacement tablet.

It is most suitable if you are someone who wants a very discreet and flexible form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to control cravings and help you quit.

How does it work?

When you use NICORETTE® Microtab, nicotine is released and absorbed through the lining of your mouth into your body. This nicotine release helps you control your cravings for a cigarette. But unlike cigarettes, NICORETTE® Microtab does not contain ingredients like tar and carbon monoxide, which could be harmful to you.

How do I use the Microtab?

• Place 1 Microtab under your tongue and allow it to slowly dissolve.
• Do not swallow or chew the Microtab.

How many Microtabs should I use?

• Initially, you should use 1 tablet every 1-2 hours for at least 12 weeks. Although, the dose is individual and depends on how much nicotine you need to reduce the withdrawal symptoms.
• After 12 weeks, you should gradually reduce the number of Microtabs you consume each day.
• You should use no more than 40 tablets per day and use beyond 6 months is not recommended.

Note: For stronger cravings, 2 Microtabs can be placed under the tongue at the same time.
