If you're looking for an effective solution to the withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking reduction or cessation, you've come to the right place! Nicorette Microtabs 2 mg, available in boxes of 100 sublingual tablets, are specially designed to help you overcome this crucial stage in your life.
Nicorette Microtab 2mg is a sublingual tablet containing a powerful asset: nicotine. This nicotine is in a special form, nicotine betadex, which enables rapid absorption by the body when the tablet melts under the tongue. But wait, make no mistake, this is not to encourage smoking. On the contrary, Nicorette Microtab is designed to help those looking to quit smoking.
When you decide to stop smoking, your body undergoes a series of changes, including nicotine withdrawal symptoms. That's where Nicorette Microtab 2mg comes in. By providing a controlled dose of nicotine, this sublingual tablet helps alleviate these symptoms, easing your quitting process.
One of the key features of Nicorette Microtab 2mg is its sublingual administration method. Placed under the tongue, the tablet dissolves slowly under the action of saliva, allowing nicotine to be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. This means you experience almost immediate relief from withdrawal symptoms, which can help you avoid a return to smoking.
Nicorette Microtab 2mg also offers essential dosage flexibility. It's recommended that you start by taking one tablet every 1-2 hours, with a maximum of 12 tablets per day. However, if you are a heavy smoker with a high nicotine dependency, or if you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, you can start by taking 2 tablets every 1-2 hours. It is essential not to exceed 30 tablets a day.
It is important to note that Nicorette Microtab 2mg is not intended to be used indefinitely. It is recommended for a limited period, generally up to 6 months. As you progress in your journey to stop smoking, you can gradually reduce your dependence on nicotine by using fewer tablets.
Although Nicorette Microtab 2mg is an invaluable stop-smoking tool, there are some contraindications to consider. This product is reserved for adults aged 18 and over, unless otherwise advised by a physician. It should not be used by non-smokers or occasional smokers. In addition, if you have an allergy to any of the product's constituents (please consult the leaflet), if you suffer from severe heart disease such as unstable angina pectoris or a severe heart rhythm disorder, or if you have recently (within the last 3 months) had a heart attack or stroke, you should not use Nicorette Microtab 2mg.

It offers a convenient method of administration, rapid nicotine absorption and dosing flexibility to suit your level of addiction.

What is tobacco dependence?
Tobacco addiction is twofold:
· Psychological dependence:
Smoking a cigarette involves a ritual of automatic and repetitive gestures associated with particular circumstances (pleasure, response to stress, intellectual stimulation, support for morale, need for a gesture of conviviality). This is psychological and behavioral dependence.
· Physical dependence:
The need for the nicotine body is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. This is physical dependence. Failure to satisfy this need results in a sense of lack (see description in the chapter "How to overcome your physical dependence?").
Nicotinic substitutes aim to treat this dependence.
How to overcome your psychological addiction?
· Stopping smoking is necessary to increase your chances of success, but more:
o Choose a J day in the period that you think is the most favorable.
o Throw away your last pack of cigarettes, your lighter and put away your ashtrays.
o In a couple of smokers, it is preferable that the attempt to stop is made at the same time by both spouses.
· Tell your family and co-workers that you quit smoking. Ask them to respect your decision (no smoking near you, no longer offering you cigarettes).
· Prepare yourself to cope with the desire to smoke. It can occur suddenly and severely, especially during the first few weeks after the cessation of smoking, but does not last more than 3 or 4 minutes.
You have to foresee what you will do in this case and act very quickly so as not to "crack" as for example:
o drink a large glass of water,
o to chew gum,
o counting up to 100,
o do some deep breaths,
o out of the room,
o change activity ...
· Avoid situations associated with taking cigarettes (coffee, aperitif, ...), avoid temptations (settle with non-smokers).
Find cigarette compensation (leisure, sport, cultural activity ...).
