Microtab is a nicotine replacement product sold under the Nicorette brand by Johnson & Johnson. Nicorette Microtab is a sublingual (meaning under the tongue) NRT tablet.  Nicotine is released and quickly absorbed through the lining of the mouth. The Microtab must be allowed to dissolve, not chewed or swallowed. Each Microtab contains 2mg of nicotine.

Initially you should use one tablet every 1-2 hours for at least 12 weeks. The exact dose is individual and depends on you rown nicotine requirements.

After 12 weeks you should gradually reduce the number of Microtabs you use each day.

You should use no more than 40 tablets per day and for not longer than six months.

For strong cravings, two Microtabs can be placed under the tongue together.

Nicotine lozenges are similar to Microtabs branded differently for a different country/market. Lozenges are sold in the USA under the Nicorette brand as "Commit Lozenges". They are a 2mg tablet that is sucked and dissolved in the mouth. Commit lozenges are available as 2mg and 4mg strengths. Lozenges are also available under the Nicorette and NiQuitin brands. 

Lozenges and Microtabs are particularly suitable for smokers who smoke their first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up each day.
