Frequently Asked Questions

Nicorette is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adults who are dependent on nicotine to quit smoking. It provides a controlled dose of nicotine to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms during the cessation process.

Nicotine in Nicorette binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, delivering a modest, steady amount of nicotine that eases withdrawal symptoms. This receptor activation helps lessen cravings, allowing the user to gradually wean off tobacco‑derived nicotine.

The specific dose and regimen of Nicorette are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, level of dependence, and medical history. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product labeling.

Safety of Nicorette in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using any nicotine replacement therapy.

To order Nicorette, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Nicorette provides nicotine via oral or inhalation routes, offering a rapid onset of action compared with transdermal patches. Unlike prescription medications such as varenicline, it delivers nicotine without additional pharmacologic mechanisms, making it a suitable option for those preferring a non‑prescription, short‑term nicotine source.

Nicorette should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight, and out of reach of children. Do not expose it to extreme heat or freeze it.

Nicorette is administered either by inhalation or placed in the mouth (oromucosal). The user follows the product’s instructions, typically inhaling or allowing the tablet/gum to dissolve slowly, ensuring the nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa or respiratory tract.

Serious risks include cardiovascular events such as chest pain, palpitations, or arrhythmias, especially in individuals with pre‑existing heart disease. Rarely, severe allergic reactions may occur, presenting as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Users should seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms arise.

Nicorette is not recommended for non‑smokers, individuals with recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina, children, or anyone with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or product excipients. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before starting therapy.
