Tips for Increasing Your Chances for Success
Once you have quit smoking, using a Nicotrol Inhaler can increase your chance of not lighting up another cigarette and reduces the cravings so you experience less withdrawal symptoms, including irritability, and feeling hungrier than normal. By altering your daily routine, you may find that your habit of smoking with your morning coffee, on the way to work, after dinner, talking on the phone, or before bed can also change. Start going to the gym, go for walks, and try to find ways to de-stress so you aren’t reaching for a smoke.
The Nicotrol Inhaler can also help with your hand to mouth habit when you smoked. Once you find that you are not reaching for your cigarette pack automatically, congratulate yourself. This is a big part of quitting when you can think of other things to do instead of lighting up. You’ll find that you need Nicotrol Inhaler less and less as cravings dwindle, not to mention your cough goes away, food tastes better, and blood pressure is under control. Women wanting to start a family have a better chance of becoming pregnant and baby’s birth weight will be typical.
Conditions Treated by Nicotrol Inhaler
Nicotine addiction is thought by some to be just as bad as heroin or cocaine. Every time you inhale from a cigarette, the nicotine activates certain receptors in your brain and releases dopamine, a brain chemical that produces feelings of pleasure. The more you smoke, the more receptors there are and you enjoy that feel good feeling as the nicotine encourages the release of dopamine. As you start to cut back on cigarettes, the number of dopamine receptors will decrease so cravings occur less often and with less intensity.
Before Nicotrol Inhaler is Prescribed to You
Your doctor may recommend a physical exam before starting Nicotrol Inhaler to be certain you do not have breathing problems, hypertension, diabetes, or chest pains. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding before using Nicotrol Inhaler as it does contain nicotine. Provide your doctor with your medical history and a list of current OTC and Rx drugs you take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements to determine if Nicotrol Inhaler is safe for you to use.
Nicotrol Inhaler Proper Use
You should not use the Nicotrol Inhaler for longer than 6 months as you could become dependent on the device itself. Nicotrol Inhaler should not be used by anyone under the age of 18 years.
