Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Spray used for?+
Nicorette Spray is an oral nicotine spray used as a smoking cessation aid. It delivers a controlled dose of nicotine to the oral mucosa, helping adult smokers reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while they work toward quitting tobacco use.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette Spray?+
The nicotine in the spray binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the oral mucosa, stimulating a modest release of dopamine and other neurotransmitters. This mimics the brain’s response to tobacco nicotine, easing withdrawal and reducing the urge to smoke.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Spray?+
The appropriate dose of Nicorette Spray is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended number of sprays per day.
Is Nicorette Spray safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Nicorette Spray 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 the product.
How do I order Nicorette Spray from GNH USA?+
To order Nicorette Spray, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Nicorette Spray compare with other smoking cessation options?+
Nicorette Spray offers rapid absorption through the oral mucosa, providing quicker relief of cravings compared with gum or lozenges. Unlike patches, the dose can be titrated more precisely. It is an OTC option in the EU, whereas prescription medications such as varenicline require a doctor’s order.
How should Nicorette Spray be stored and handled?+
Store Nicorette Spray at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the device upright and avoid exposing it to extreme heat or freezing conditions to maintain spray performance.
How is Nicorette Spray administered?+
The spray is used by directing the nozzle toward the inside of the mouth, typically the buccal or sublingual area, and delivering a single spray. The user should avoid swallowing immediately, allowing the nicotine to be absorbed through the oral mucosa before swallowing.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Spray?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, severe mouth ulceration, and cardiovascular events like rapid heart rate, hypertension, or chest pain. Any of these symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Nicorette Spray?+
Nicorette Spray should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any component of the formulation, by children, or by patients who are currently using other nicotine replacement products without medical supervision. Those with recent myocardial infarction or uncontrolled hypertension should seek medical advice before use.
