Drug Name
NicoCease
Drug Uses
NicoCease cuts the pleasure of smoking and reduces the withdrawal symptoms that frequently derail smokers' efforts to quit.
How Taken
As a dietary supplement for adults only, take two capsules, two times daily. Do not exceed six capsules per day.
Drug Class and Mechanism
NicoCease latches on to the same receptors in the brain that nicotine binds to when inhaled in cigarette smoke. The action leads to the release of dopamine in the pleasure centers of the brain. Taking the drug blocks any inhaled nicotine from reinforcing that effect.
It has been confirmed that the chances of relapsing during the first six months after giving up smoking is significantly reduced when a smoker is on NicoCease. It works in a different way and has been proven to produce more effective results.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of NicoCease, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time to take the next dose, skip the dose and go back to the regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Storage
Store NicoCease at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). Brief storage between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep NicoCease out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Warnings/Precautions
No absolute contraindications. Consult your healthcare professional if pregnant or nursing.
Possible Side Effects
NicoCease is not known to have any side effects if taken as per the prescribed dosage.
