Can Nicotine Lozenges Be Used Along With Black Cohosh?
I just purchased some black cohosh for hot flashes and night sweats. 40mg per serving. My doctor said I should take black cohosh or soy to help with the symptoms. I m also a smoker and I purchased nicotine lozenges. Can I use them with the black cohosh?

Hello,
The metabolism of nicotine might be reduced while taking along with black cohosh. So, you might notice more potent effects of nicotine.
You should not get black cohosh mistaken with blue cohosh, which is a nicotine-like plant and it not a safe plant to use. So, can use nicotine lozenges along with black cohosh but be careful with quantity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
