How should I use the CigSTOP nasal spray?


  • Nicotine nasal spray is a liquid that is applied to the nose.

  • Make sure you carefully follow the instructions on the label of your prescription, and ask your pharmacist or doctor to clarify anything you are unsure about.

  • As instructed, use the nicotine nasal spray.

  • Use the recommended dosage and frequency only, as directed by your physician.

  • Observe your physician's guidance regarding the number of spray doses you should take each day.

  • Most likely, your doctor will advise you to begin with one or two dosages each hour. Two sprays, one in each nostril, make up each dosage.

  • It is recommended that you do not exceed five dosages per hour or forty doses per day (24 hours).

  • Your doctor may progressively reduce your dosage over the course of the following four to six weeks until you stop using nicotine inhalation after you have been using nicotine nasal spray for eight weeks and your body has adjusted to not smoking. When it comes to lowering your nicotine dosage, adhere to your doctor's recommendations.

  • Nasal spray with nicotine may lead to addiction. Never take more medicine than what your doctor has prescribed, nor should you take it more frequently or for longer than necessary.
