Dosage options and recommended dosage
The nicotine sublingual tablet contains 2mg of ingredient. The initial dosage required is initially based on the individual need to relieve withdrawal symptoms. 1 nicotine sublingual tablet can be used every 1-2 hours. Heavy smokers may also use up to 2 nicotine sublingual tablets per hour, but not more than 40 tablets per day .
The sublingual tablets are placed under the tongue where they slowly dissolve, releasing nicotine. They should not be chewed or swallowed. After 4-6 weeks, it is advisable to reduce the daily number of tablets, e.g. by using them at increasingly longer intervals. The first discontinuation attempt should be made when the average consumption during the previous week was 1-2 tablets per day. After 10-12 weeks, the consumption of nicotine sublingual tablets should have been stopped. In exceptional cases, nicotine sublingual tablets may still be used after this time in situations where there is a strong desire to smoke. Treatment lasting longer than six months is generally not recommended.
