Nicotine in Niquitin binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, stimulating dopamine release. This mimics the effect of smoking, easing withdrawal while allowing the user to gradually reduce nicotine dependence.
What is the usual dose of Niquitin?+
The appropriate dose of Niquitin is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and any medical considerations. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Niquitin safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+

How does Niquitin compare with other nicotine replacement options?+
Niquitin provides nicotine via an oromucosal route, similar to gums and lozenges, but differs in formulation and release profile. Compared with patches, it offers faster onset of action, allowing users to manage cravings more immediately while still delivering a controlled dose.
