Typical dosage for Nicotrol

Each cartridge of Nicotrol gets inserted into the inhaler. Use the inhaler to take puffs or inhalations through the mouth for up to 20 minutes. Each cartridge contains 10 mg of nicotine, but only about 2 mg of nicotine gets absorbed into your body after the full 20-minute inhalation period.

The typical starting dose is at least 6 cartridges per day at least for the first 3 to 6 weeks of treatment. Then, work with your healthcare professional (HCP) to find the dose that best controls your cravings. Don't use more than 16 cartridges in a single day. The recommended length of treatment is 12 weeks (3 months).

After that, discuss with your HCP about the best approach to slowly lower the number of cartridges you use per day over the next 6 to 12 weeks.

Don't use Nicotrol for a total of more than 6 months.
