Nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, providing a modest dopaminergic stimulus that eases the neurochemical deficit caused by nicotine abstinence, thereby lessening cravings.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Freshfruit Gum?+
The appropriate dosing schedule is set by a healthcare professional based on individual smoking habits and dependence level. The prescriber determines how many pieces to chew per day and the duration of therapy.
