Smoking cessation: provides a controlled nicotine dose to reduce cravings and withdrawal during quit attempts. Nicotine dependence: helps adult smokers transition away from combustible tobacco by delivering nicotine orally. Relapse prevention: can be used after initial cessation to maintain abstinence when combined with behavioral support.

Nicorette may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Mouth irritation or soreness - Throat discomfort - Nausea or upset stomach - Hiccups - Dizziness or light‑headedness - Headache

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) - Chest pain or palpitations - Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) - Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome) - Persistent vomiting or gastrointestinal distress

When using Nicorette, consider the following safety measures. - Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate patients with recent heart disease before initiating therapy. - Avoid concurrent nicotine products: do not combine with cigarettes, e‑cigarettes, or other NRTs. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Age restriction: intended for adult smokers; not recommended for individuals under 18. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
