Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Spray used for?+
Nicorette Spray is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement product used to help adult smokers reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms when they are trying to quit smoking. It delivers nicotine through the oral mucosa as part of a structured cessation plan.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette Spray?+
The nicotine in the spray binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the oral mucosa, providing a low, steady dose of nicotine that mimics the nicotine received from cigarettes. This stimulation reduces the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and helps the user gradually wean off tobacco.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Spray?+
The specific dosing regimen for Nicorette Spray is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, level of dependence, and treatment goals. 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 nicotine oral spray in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers generally advise caution, as nicotine can cross the placenta and enter breast milk. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss alternatives with their clinician.
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 supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Nicorette Spray compare with other nicotine replacement options?+
Compared with nicotine gum or patches, the oral spray provides rapid absorption through the oral mucosa, giving quicker relief of cravings. It also allows precise dose control with each spray, which can be advantageous for users who need flexible dosing during the quit process.
How should Nicorette Spray be stored and handled?+
Store Nicorette Spray at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the device in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the nozzle is capped when not in use to maintain product integrity.
How is Nicorette Spray administered?+
The spray is used by directing the nozzle toward the inside of the mouth, typically between the cheek and gum, and pressing the actuator to release a measured spray. Users should avoid swallowing immediately and allow the spray to absorb through the oral mucosa.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Spray?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and cardiovascular effects like increased blood pressure, rapid heart rate, or chest pain. If any of these occur, the user should stop the product and seek immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Nicorette Spray?+
Nicorette Spray is not recommended for non‑smokers, individuals with a known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any excipients in the formulation, and patients with uncontrolled hypertension or recent cardiovascular events unless advised by a healthcare professional.
