What is Nicotine used for?

Niquitin Mint, a nicotinic receptor agonist, is used in smoking cessation to alleviate nicotine withdrawal. - Smoking cessation: reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, supporting adults who want to stop smoking by delivering a measured dose of nicotine through an oral mint. - Nicotine dependence: provides controlled nicotine exposure to ease the transition away from cigarettes, helping to stabilize plasma nicotine levels and minimize abrupt discontinuation effects. - Relapse prevention: helps maintain abstinence by managing occasional urges during the quitting process, offering a discreet, on‑the‑go option for short‑term nicotine replacement.

Niquitin Mint may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.
