Nicorette Mint Mondspray (Nicotine)

Nicorette Mint Mondspray is a nicotine replacement product used in the management of tobacco dependence and smoking cessation.

• Smoking cessation: assists adults in quitting smoking by alleviating nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
• Nicotine dependence: provides a controlled dose of nicotine to reduce cravings.
• Relapse prevention: supports individuals who have quit smoking to maintain abstinence.

• Nicotine in the spray acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, partially stimulating these receptors to mimic the effect of tobacco‑derived nicotine. This reduces the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and cravings, facilitating a gradual reduction in nicotine dependence while the user works toward complete cessation.

Common side effects are generally mild and related to the route of administration.
