Frequently asked questions

Nicotinell Fruit is a buccal lozenge that delivers nicotine to help adult smokers reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms during a quit attempt. It is part of nicotine replacement therapy, a non‑prescription approach to support smoking cessation.
How does nicotine polacrilex work?+
Nicotine polacrilex is a nicotine‑salt complex that releases nicotine slowly when placed in the mouth. The nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, providing a mild stimulant effect that eases the physiological and psychological drive to smoke.
What is the usual dose of Nicotinell Fruit?+

Is Nicotinell Fruit safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nicotine polacrilex in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using this product.

How does Nicotinell Fruit compare with other nicotine replacement products?+
Nicotinell Fruit is a buccal lozenge that offers gradual nicotine release, similar to other nicotine gums and lozenges, but differs from patches or inhalers in its route of administration and onset of action. It provides a discreet, on‑demand option for managing cravings without the need for a transdermal patch.
How should Nicotinell Fruit be stored and handled?+
Store Nicotinell Fruit at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources to maintain stability and potency.
How is Nicotinell Fruit administered?+
Place one lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly, moving it occasionally between the cheek and gum. Do not chew or swallow whole; avoid eating or drinking for at least 15 minutes after placement to ensure optimal nicotine absorption.
What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Nicotinell Fruit?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis, as well as cardiovascular events like chest pain or irregular heartbeat. If any of these occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
Who should not use Nicotinell Fruit?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any component of the lozenge, those who have recently experienced a myocardial infarction or unstable angina, and persons using other nicotine replacement products simultaneously should avoid using Nicotinell Fruit.
