Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette used for?+
Nicorette is a nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit by reducing nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cravings. It provides a controlled dose of nicotine through the oral mucosa, supporting a gradual reduction in tobacco use.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette?+
Nicotine in Nicorette binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, partially stimulating them to lessen withdrawal sensations. This controlled stimulation helps the user manage cravings while they taper nicotine exposure over time.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette?+
The appropriate dose of Nicorette is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, dependence level, and medical history. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not self‑adjust the dosage.
