How does Nicotinell Lakrids compare with other nicotine replacement products?+
Nicotinell Lakrids delivers nicotine via a buccal lozenge, offering a discreet, non‑inhaled route that may be preferred over patches or gums for some users.

The lozenge is placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly, without chewing or swallowing whole. It should be kept in contact with the buccal mucosa until fully dissolved, providing nicotine absorption through the oral lining.
What are the most serious risks associated with Nicotinell Lakrids?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis, as well as cardiovascular events like chest pain or irregular heartbeat. Any signs of severe reaction should prompt immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Nicotinell Lakrids?+

It is also not recommended for children, adolescents, or non‑smokers, and caution is advised for patients with recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension, or severe cardiovascular disease.
