The product
Quixotic is designed as a step-down smoking alternative.
The Quix pharmacy programme introduces Quixotic as a reusable hand-to-mouth device with refill pods, four strengths, four flavours, and MHRA-notified product status. It gives adult smokers and vapers a pharmacy-led way to reduce nicotine use with clear support from the Manchester Chemist team.
Strengths down to zero
The programme starts where the patient is today and gives a visible route from nicotine use towards nicotine-free use.
Supplied through community pharmacy
Quixotic is supplied through community pharmacy, giving patients a professional counter-based route rather than a vape-shop purchase.
The programme
Four strengths, at the patient's pace.
Quix describes a simple progression from 18mg to 9mg to 3mg to 0mg, with the patient stepping down when ready rather than being forced into a fixed timetable.
