Use a NIXIT Nicotine Lozenge every 1 to 2 hours and at least 9 lozenges each day for the first 6 weeks to help prevent unexpected cravings and improve your chances of quitting. After six weeks, you should wait a little longer between lozenges, one lozenge every two to four hours. This will help you gradually use fewer NIXIT Nicotine Lozenges. At the beginning of week 10, reduce NIXIT Nicotine Lozenge use even further, one every 4-8 hours. By tapering the dose, body’s dependence on nicotine is gradually reduced until it no longer requires it, resulting in quitting. Since NIXIT Nicotine Lozenges contain nicotine, there is a probability that one may get addicted to these if not used as recommended. Hence, it is imperative that one follows the dosage regime to quit.
