Niquitin Mint Lozenges

About Niquitin Mint Lozenges

Niquitin Mint Lozenges are a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help smokers cut down on cigarettes and support quitting smoking altogether. These mint-flavoured lozenges deliver controlled doses of nicotine to ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms while avoiding harmful tar and carbon monoxide found in cigarette smoke. Niquitin Lozenges continue to provide therapeutic nicotine even after the lozenge has dissolved.

Niquitin Mint Lozenges are available in two strengths to suit different smoking habits:

• Niquitin Mint Lozenges – 2mg (for smokers who have their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking)
• Niquitin Mint Lozenges – 4mg (for smokers who have their first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking)

What Are Niquitin Mint Lozenges Used For?

Niquitin Mint Lozenges help smokers manage nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms while attempting to quit smoking. They provide controlled nicotine replacement and support a gradual step-down programme over approximately 12 weeks.
