Frequently asked questions
Are lozenges as effective as gum?
Both are fast-acting NRT forms. Some people prefer lozenges for discretion; others dislike the mouth feel. Choice is personal—ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.
Can I use lozenges with the patch?
Combination NRT (patch + fast acting) is a common strategy with strong evidence, but dosing must be individualized. Confirm with a clinician or pharmacist.
What if I get heartburn from lozenges?
Try a different formulation or timing, and discuss with a clinician or pharmacist—especially if you have reflux disease.
How does an app help?
It logs breakthrough cravings so you can see patterns and practice a timer-based response between lozenge uses.
