Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Freshmint used for?+
Nicorette Freshmint is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit. It delivers a controlled amount of nicotine through the oral mucosa, reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings that occur when tobacco use is stopped.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette Freshmint?+
The nicotine in Nicorette Freshmint is absorbed across the lining of the mouth and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This mimics the effect of cigarette‑derived nicotine, providing a steadier, lower‑level stimulation that eases withdrawal while allowing the user to gradually reduce nicotine exposure.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Freshmint?+
The appropriate dose of Nicorette Freshmint is determined by the prescribing health‑care professional based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and any co‑existing medical conditions. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the regimen without medical advice.
