How does the COMMIT Lozenge work? Does it work like the gum?
The COMMIT Lozenge is simple to use. It goes to work after you place it into your mouth, releasing nicotine as it dissolves to effectively reduce cravings. The quitter uses fewer and fewer lozenges during the 12-week program, until he/she is completely nicotine-free. Like Nicorette gum, the COMMIT Lozenge helps reduce withdrawal symptoms by providing a temporary alternative source of nicotine, without exposing the quitter to the harmful tars and carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke. Those who use Nicorette gum employ a specific technique (i.e., “chew, chew, park”) in order to use the product properly. COMMIT is meant to be sucked on and moved from side to side until it dissolves in your mouth, just like a regular lozenge. Both the 2 mg and 4 mg COMMIT Lozenge are clinically proven to significantly reduce both cravings and withdrawal symptoms including irritability, anger, frustration, and anxiety (Ref: Data on file, GSK).
