Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Freshmint used for?+

How does nicotine work in Nicorette Freshmint?+
The nicotine in Nicorette Freshmint activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the oral mucosa, delivering a low, steady amount of nicotine to the bloodstream. This mimics the nicotine exposure from cigarettes, reducing the neurochemical deficit that causes cravings and withdrawal, thereby aiding cessation.

The specific dose and duration of Nicorette Freshmint are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and overall health. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label carefully.
