Nicorette nasal spray contains nicotine. It is a type of medicine known as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and is used to help smokers give up the habit. Nicotine is the addictive substance present in tobacco. Smokers who try to give up often experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and cravings for cigarettes because they are dependent on the nicotine in tobacco. Withdrawal symptoms can include irritability headaches restlessness insomnia and difficulty concentrating. These combined with cigarette cravings are why it is difficult for some people to give up smoking. Nicotine replacement therapies work by giving you a small amount of nicotine but without the dangerous effects of inhaling tobacco smoke. This helps relieve the withdrawal symptoms and cravings for a cigarette that you get when you stop smoking and allows you to get on with breaking the psychological habit of smoking. If you are physically addicted to nicotine using NRT has been shown to almost double your chances of successfully quitting smoking. Nicorette nasal spray may be particularly helpful to the most heavily dependent smokers because the nicotine is rapidly absorbed through the blood vessels in the nose to relieve cravings quickly. The nasal spray should be used following the instructions in the pack to relieve cravings in the first eight weeks after stopping smoking. The amount you use will depend on how many cigarettes you used to smoke and what strength they were however you should not use more than one spray in each nostril twice an hour. After this time your psychological urge to smoke should be less. You should then be able to gradually reduce the amount you use the spray so that you are using less and less nicotine. Ideally after two further weeks you should be using half of what you were initially using. After four weeks (three months after you stopped smoking) you should have stopped using the spray completely. (It is rare to become dependent on the nasal spray. If this happens it is much less dangerous than being dependent on cigarettes and is a much easier habit to break than smoking.)NRT comes in many forms. There are factsheets on all these linked at the end of this page. Nicotine patches can be used to help prevent cravings for cigarettes while nasal sprays inhalators chewing gum tablets that dissolve under the tongue and lozenges are all forms that can be used instead of smoking when you get a cigarette craving.As well as breaking the physical addiction you also need to break the smoking habits you used to have. Try to avoid situations where you will be tempted to smoke and remember to seek help and support whenever you feel like giving in to your cravings. What is it used for?Relief of withdrawal symptoms associated with giving up smoking.
