Frequently asked questions

What is Nicotinell Drop used for?+
Nicotinell Drop is used as a nicotine replacement therapy to help adult smokers quit by reducing cravings and alleviating withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking cessation.
How does nicotine polacrilex work?+
Nicotine polacrilex is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. When delivered buccally, it releases nicotine that is absorbed through the oral mucosa, providing plasma nicotine levels that mimic smoking and thereby lessen withdrawal and cravings.
What is the usual dose of Nicotinell Drop?+
The appropriate dose 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 adjust the dose on their own.
Is Nicotinell Drop safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nicotine polacrilex in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and only under medical supervision.
How do I order Nicotinell Drop from GNH USA?+
To order, 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 Nicotinell Drop compare with other nicotine replacement options?+

Store Nicotinell Drop at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources to maintain product stability.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis, severe mouth ulceration, and cardiovascular events like hypertension or arrhythmia. Any signs of these conditions require immediate medical attention.
