Frequently asked questions

What is Niquitin Lozenge used for?+
Niquitin Lozenge is an oral nicotine replacement product used to help adult smokers manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms during a quit attempt. It provides a controlled dose of nicotine to reduce dependence on tobacco and supports the overall smoking cessation process.
How does nicotine work in the lozenge?+
The lozenge releases nicotine onto the oral mucosa, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Nicotine then binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, partially stimulating them and mimicking the effect of cigarette‑derived nicotine, which lessens cravings and withdrawal discomfort.
What is the usual dose of Niquitin Lozenge?+
The exact dosing regimen is determined by the prescriber based on the individual’s smoking history and dependence level. A healthcare professional will select the appropriate strength and frequency, typically starting with a low dose and adjusting as needed during the cessation program.
Is Niquitin Lozenge safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of nicotine lozenges in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using the product.
How do I order Niquitin Lozenge from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Niquitin Lozenge compare with other nicotine replacement options?+
Compared with nicotine patches, the lozenge offers rapid absorption through the oral mucosa, allowing flexible dosing and immediate relief of cravings. Unlike nicotine gum, the lozenge does not require chewing, which some users find more comfortable. Choice depends on personal preference, dosing needs and clinician recommendation.
How should Niquitin Lozenge be stored and handled?+
Store the lozenges below 25°C in their original packaging, protecting them from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged or the product appears discoloured.
How is Niquitin Lozenge administered?+
Place one lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly, moving it occasionally from cheek to gum. Do not chew or swallow whole. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 15 minutes before and after use to ensure optimal nicotine absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with Niquitin Lozenge?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, persistent dizziness, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, severe nausea or vomiting, and significant increases in blood pressure. Users should seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use Niquitin Lozenge?+
The lozenge is contraindicated for non‑smokers, children, adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice, and individuals with uncontrolled hypertension, recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or severe cardiovascular disease. Anyone with known hypersensitivity to nicotine should also avoid use.
