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 via the buccal mucosa, which reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with smoking cessation.
How does nicotine polacrilex work?+
Nicotine polacrilex is a polymer‑bound nicotine complex that releases nicotine slowly when placed against the buccal lining. The nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa, activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, and mitigates the physiological and psychological aspects of nicotine withdrawal.
What is the usual dose of Nicotinell Fruit?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing health‑care professional based on the individual’s smoking history and level of nicotine dependence. The product is typically used several times per day as directed on the label, and patients should follow their clinician’s instructions.
Is Nicotinell Fruit safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established; the product is classified as pregnancy category unknown. Use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding should only occur after a thorough discussion with a physician, weighing potential benefits against possible risks to the fetus or infant.

What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Nicotinell Fruit?+
