The inhaler system comes with a plastic mouthpiece and cartridges (small tubes) of nicotine. These cartridges are inserted into the mouthpiece.

With the cartridge inserted into the mouthpiece, inhale or puff through the mouthpiece. The nicotine will become a mist that is absorbed through your mouth and throat. There is enough nicotine in one cartridge to last for about 20 minutes of active puffing.

When you first start using this medicine, use at least the smallest suggested number of cartridges of medicine each day. This is important to keep cravings and withdrawal symptoms under control.

Do not use more than 16 cartridges in 24 hours. Do not use this medicine for longer than 6 months. Most people begin to slowly lower the dose over the last 12 weeks of treatment.
Storage:
-
When the cartridge is used up, take it out of the mouthpiece and throw the cartridge away. Always dispose of the cartridges where children and pets cannot reach them.
-
Keep the mouthpiece to use later with another cartridge. Wash the mouthpiece regularly with soap and water. Store the mouthpiece in the plastic storage case that came with the medicine.

Store the cartridges at room temperature in the plastic storage case, away from heat and direct light.

Keep all medicine away from children and never share your medicine with anyone.
