If you cannot, you should only use Nicorette BucoMist if your primary care physician, obstetrician, or a specialist in smoking cessation recommends it.

Breastfeeding

The use of Nicorette BucoMist should be avoided during breastfeeding, as nicotine passes into breast milk in amounts that may affect the baby. If your doctor has recommended using Nicorette BucoMist during breastfeeding, the spray or sprays should be applied immediately after breastfeeding and never during the 2 hours prior to breastfeeding.

Fertility

Smoking increases the risk of infertility in women and men. The effect of nicotine on fertility is unknown.

Driving and using machines

No effects on the ability to drive or use machines have been observed.

Consult your doctor if you have not achieved a reduction in the number of sprays or cigarette consumption after 6 weeks of treatment or if you need to use Nicorette BucoMist for more than 6 months. Normally, Nicorette BucoMist should be used for 3 months, but not more than 6 months.

The way to use Nicorette BucoMist will depend on whether you quit smoking immediately or gradually reduce the number of cigarettes before quitting completely.

Quitting smoking immediately

The goal is to quit smoking immediately and use the sprays from the device to alleviate the urge to smoke.

Do not use more than 2 sprays at a time or 4 sprays per hour for 16 hours. The maximum dose is 64 sprays for 16 hours in any 24-hour period.

Quitting smoking gradually

The goal is to start replacing some cigarettes with Nicorette BucoMist. Once this goal is achieved, quit smoking cigarettes completely and switch to using the spray device only. Finally, completely stop using the medication.

.

When you feel a strong urge to smoke, apply 1-2 sprays instead of a cigarette to help control your cravings. The sprays are to replace a cigarette, do not smoke shortly after using it. Using the sprays without reducing the number of cigarettes will make you feel unwell (see section "If you use more Nicorette BucoMist than you should"). Reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke per day as much as possible and replace them with a spray. As soon as you feel ready, you should quit smoking completely, no later than 12 weeks after starting treatment. After quitting smoking, gradually reduce the number of sprays per day. When you have reduced the sprays to 2-4 per day, stop using Nicorette BucoMist.

Do not use more than 2 sprays at a time or 4 sprays per hour for 16 hours. The maximum dose is 64 sprays for 16 hours in any 24-hour period.

After completing the treatment, you may feel the urge to smoke again. Keep the package with the unused dose of the medication for situations where you suddenly feel a strong urge to smoke. You can apply one spray, or two if the first spray does not help within a few minutes.
