Frequently asked questions

What is Nicotinell Lakrids used for?+
Nicotinell Lakrids is a nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit or reduce cigarette use. It supplies a controlled amount of nicotine through the buccal mucosa, easing withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with smoking cessation.
How does nicotine polacrilex work?+
Nicotine Polacrilex is a resin‑bound nicotine complex that releases nicotine slowly when the lozenge is placed in the mouth. The nicotine is absorbed through the buccal lining, reaches the brain, and activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, mimicking the effect of smoked nicotine and reducing withdrawal.
What is the usual dose of Nicotinell Lakrids?+
The appropriate dose of Nicotinell Lakrids is determined by a qualified prescriber based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and health status. Patients should follow the healthcare professional’s instructions regarding the number of lozenges per day and the duration of therapy.
Is Nicotinell Lakrids safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of Nicotinell Lakrids in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been definitively established. Healthcare providers generally recommend avoiding nicotine replacement products during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh potential risks, and they should be used with caution in lactating women.
How do I order Nicotinell Lakrids from GNH USA?+

How does Nicotinell Lakrids compare with other nicotine replacement options?+
Nicotinell Lakrids offers buccal delivery of nicotine in a lozenge form, which can be convenient for users who prefer not to use patches or inhalers. Compared with patches, lozenges provide faster onset of action, while inhalers may more closely mimic the hand‑to‑mouth ritual of smoking. Choice depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and clinical guidance.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Nicotinell Lakrids?+
Nicotinell Lakrids should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the lozenges from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat to maintain product stability and potency throughout its shelf life.
How is Nicotinell Lakrids administered?+
The lozenge is placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly, without chewing or swallowing whole. Users should avoid eating or drinking for at least 15 minutes after the lozenge has dissolved to ensure optimal nicotine absorption through the buccal mucosa.
What are the most serious risks to watch for when using Nicotinell Lakrids?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and cardiovascular events like chest pain or palpitations. If any of these symptoms occur, the user should discontinue the product immediately and seek medical attention.
Who should not use Nicotinell Lakrids?+
Nicotinell Lakrids should not be used by individuals who are not regular smokers, those who have had a recent myocardial infarction (within the past two weeks), pregnant or breastfeeding women unless advised by a healthcare professional, and anyone with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or the lozenge excipients.
