Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to nicotine or other components of the drug. With caution Patients with recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris or worsening of its course, including Prinzmetal's angina, with severe arrhythmia, recent cerebrovascular disease and / or patients with uncontrolled hypertension should be advised to stop smoking without the help of pharmacological intervention. If such attempts are unsuccessful, the use of the Nicorette® patch can be considered, however, since the safety data in this category of patients is limited, such treatment should be started only under strict medical supervision.Patients with diabetes mellitus after smoking cessation and since the beginning of nicotine replacement therapy are recommended to more closely monitor the blood glucose concentration, since a decrease in the content of catecholamines, the release of which is induced by nicotine, can affect the metabolism of carbohydrates. Patients with diabetes may need to lower their insulin dose after smoking cessation. The drug should be used with caution in patients with severe or moderate hepatic impairment and / or severe renal impairment, since the clearance of nicotine and its metabolites may be reduced, which may increase the risk of adverse events. Nicotine, both released from substitution therapy and absorbed during smoking, stimulates the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla.Therefore, the drug should be used with caution in patients with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism and pheochromocytoma. Nicotine can exacerbate the symptoms of esophagitis, gastritis or peptic ulcers, therefore, nicotine replacement therapy should be used with caution in this pathology.
