Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Classic used for?+
Nicorette Classic is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy used to help adult smokers quit by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with tobacco dependence. It provides a controlled dose of nicotine through the oral mucosa, supporting a gradual reduction in nicotine intake during a quit attempt.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette Classic?+
Nicotine in Nicorette Classic is absorbed through the lining of the mouth, enters the bloodstream, and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This activation mimics the effect of cigarette‑derived nicotine, easing withdrawal symptoms and decreasing the urge to smoke while allowing the user to taper nicotine exposure over time.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Classic?+
The appropriate dose of Nicorette Classic is determined by the prescribing health‑care professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, level of nicotine dependence, and medical history. The prescriber will select the strength and frequency that best supports the patient’s quit plan.
Is Nicorette Classic safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of nicotine replacement therapy during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been definitively established. Health‑care providers generally recommend avoiding nicotine products in these situations unless the benefits outweigh potential risks. Patients should discuss their specific circumstances with a qualified professional before using Nicorette Classic.

What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Classic?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing, as well as cardiovascular events like chest pain, palpitations, arrhythmias or significant changes in blood pressure. Users should seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use Nicorette Classic?+
