Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Microtab used for?+
Nicorette Microtab is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement product used to help adult smokers quit by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with nicotine dependence. It is part of a comprehensive smoking‑cessation program that may include behavioral support.
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 provides a mild stimulant effect that mimics the sensation of smoking, thereby easing withdrawal and decreasing the urge to smoke while the user gradually reduces nicotine intake.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Microtab?+
The exact dosing regimen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s level of nicotine dependence, smoking history, and medical condition. The prescriber will advise how many tablets to use per day and the duration of therapy.
Is Nicorette Microtab safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nicotine replacement therapy in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using Nicorette Microtab.
How do I order Nicorette Microtab from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.
How does Nicorette Microtab compare with other nicotine replacement options?+
Compared with nicotine patches or gum, Nicorette Microtab offers rapid absorption through the sublingual mucosa, providing quicker relief of cravings. It does not require chewing or wearing a patch, which some users find more convenient, but the choice depends on personal preference, smoking patterns and medical advice.
How should Nicorette Microtab be stored and handled?+
Store Nicorette Microtab at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in the original blister pack, and protect it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use tablets that are damaged or past their expiry date.
How is Nicorette Microtab administered?+
Place one tablet under the tongue and allow it to dissolve completely without chewing or swallowing it whole. The tablet should remain in place for several minutes to ensure optimal absorption through the sublingual mucosa before swallowing any residual saliva.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Microtab?+
Serious risks, although rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing, chest pain or palpitations indicating possible cardiovascular strain, severe nausea or vomiting, significant increases in blood pressure, and, in very uncommon cases, seizures. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.
Who should not use Nicorette Microtab?+
Nicorette Microtab should be avoided by individuals who are allergic to nicotine or any excipients in the tablet, those who have recently experienced a myocardial infarction or unstable angina without medical clearance, and anyone using other nicotine‑containing products unless directed by a healthcare professional.
