Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Microtab used for?+

How does nicotine work in Nicorette Microtab?+
The nicotine in Nicorette Microtab binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, especially the α4β2 subtype. This activation releases dopamine and other neurotransmitters, reproducing the rewarding effect of tobacco smoke and thereby lowering the intensity of withdrawal and craving sensations.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Microtab?+
The appropriate dosing schedule for Nicorette Microtab is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, dependence level, and treatment goals. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the regimen without medical advice.
Is Nicorette Microtab safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Nicorette Microtab in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and this decision must be made in consultation with a physician.
