! Important information about some of the Ingredients
NICORETT® QuickMist contains about 7 mg of alcohol (ethanol) in each spray which is equivalent to 97 mg/ml. The
amount in one spray of this medicine is equivalent to less than 2 ml beer or 1 ml wine. The small amount of alcohol
in this medicine will not have any noticeable effects.
This medicine contains 11 mg propylene glycol in each spray which is equivalent to 150mg/mL
It also contains butylated hydroxytoluene (E 321) which may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis), or
irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per spray, that is to say essentially ‘sodium- free’.
! If you are pregnant or breast-feeding
If you are pregnant:
1) Firstly, you should try to give up smoking without NRT. Stopping completely is by far the best option. The
earlier end quicker you do this the better it is for you and your baby.
2) Secondly, if you can’t menage this, you can use N RT as a safer alternative to smoking as the risks to your
baby are far less than smoking, however you should talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice.
Products that are used intermittently, including NICORETTE
® mouthspray may be preferable to nicotine
patches. However, patches may be more suitable if you have nausea or sick-ness. If you do use patches take
them off before going to bed at night. If you are breast-feeding:
1) Firstly, you should try to give up smoking without NRT.
2) Secondly, if you can’t menage this, you are best to use N RT products that are taken intermittently (not
patches), however you should talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for advice. Breast-feed just before you use
NICORETTE®- mouthspray to ensure that the baby gets the smallest amount of nicotine possible.
If you do need to use N RT to help you quit, the amount of nicotine that the baby may receive is considerably
smaller and less harmful than the second-hand smoke they would inhale if you smoked. Tobacco smoke produces
breathing and other problems in babies and children
