Can you just stop Nocrav 1mg Tablet?

Sudden discontinuation of Nocrav 1mg Tablet in some cases have resulted in irritability and sleep disturbances. In such cases, gradual tapering of Nocrav 1mg Tablet is recommended.
Can I take Nocrav 1mg Tablet and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), together?
Yes, you can take both together for better results, as they do not interfere with working of each other. However, taking these medicines together is not recommended since there are increased chances of side effects, which might force you to stop all treatment together. The side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, upset stomach, and tiredness.
How should I take Nocrav 1mg Tablet?
Take it as prescribed by your doctor. Take it after a meal with a full glass of water. Swallow the medicine without breaking or crushing. There are 3 ways which can help you quit with Nocrav 1mg Tablet. Firstly, choosing a quit date when you will stop smoking and start taking Nocrav 1mg Tablet 1 week prior to that date. Secondly, take Nocrav 1mg Tablet for 12 weeks. Pick a date to quit smoking between days 8 and 35 of treatment and take it for 12 weeks. Lastly, if you are sure that you are not able or willing to quit smoking right away, start taking Nocrav 1mg Tablet and reduce smoking during the first 12 weeks of treatment. Aim to quit smoking by the end of 12 week. An additional 12 weeks of treatment is recommended for successful quitters to increase the likelihood of complete cessation of smoking.
Can I continue smoking while on Nocrav 1mg Tablet?
If you really want to quit smoking, it is best to first decide on a quit date and stick to it. Initially the process to quit smoking may seem very difficult. However, for the first 1-2 weeks you can continue smoking. Continuing to smoke after your ‘quit date’ is not dangerous but will mean that you are less likely to quit successfully. Nocrav 1mg Tablet may help you in the process as it reduces the effect of cigarettes if you do smoke when on treatment.
Can I take again if I took it before and did not quit?
Speak to your doctor about whether another course of Nocrav 1mg Tablet will be right for you. Another course can only be started if you are motivated to quit smoking and were not able to do so during prior Nocrav 1mg Tablet treatment for reasons other than side effects or you returned to smoking after quitting.
