Frequently asked questions

What is Nicotinell Fruit used for?+
Nicotinell Fruit is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit. It delivers nicotine through the buccal mucosa, reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, thereby supporting smoking cessation and aiding in the transition away from tobacco use.
How does nicotine polacrilex work?+
Nicotine polacrilex is a polymer‑bound nicotine that releases the active compound slowly in the mouth. The nicotine is absorbed through the buccal lining and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, providing a controlled stimulus that eases withdrawal and diminishes the urge to smoke.
What is the usual dose of Nicotinell Fruit?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing health professional based on the individual’s smoking history and dependence level. Clinicians typically start with a dose that matches the smoker’s current nicotine intake and then taper it gradually over time.
Is Nicotinell Fruit safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nicotine polacrilex in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product’s pregnancy category is listed as unknown. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and alternatives with their healthcare provider before use.
How do I order Nicotinell Fruit from GNH USA?+
To place an 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 Fruit compare with other nicotine replacement products?+
Nicotinell Fruit provides buccal nicotine delivery, offering a rapid onset similar to nicotine gum but without the need for chewing. Compared with patches, it allows more flexible dosing and quicker tapering. It is an alternative for users who prefer a discreet, non‑chewing option.
How should Nicotinell Fruit be stored and handled?+
Store Nicotinell Fruit at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not refrigerate or freeze the tablets, as this could affect their integrity.
How is Nicotinell Fruit administered?+
Place a tablet or lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly against the buccal mucosa. Do not chew or swallow whole. The nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the cheek, providing a steady release that helps control cravings.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while using Nicotinell Fruit?+
Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include allergic responses such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing, and severe oral ulceration. Cardiovascular events like increased blood pressure, palpitations or chest pain may also occur, especially in patients with pre‑existing heart conditions.
Who should not use Nicotinell Fruit?+
Nicotinell Fruit is not recommended for non‑smokers, children, or adolescents. Individuals with uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, severe heart disease, or known hypersensitivity to nicotine polacrilex should avoid using this product unless advised otherwise by a clinician.
