Nicorette Quickmist Cool Berry (Nicotine)

Nicotine delivered via Nicorette Quickmist Cool Berry is used in nicotine replacement therapy to support smoking cessation.

• Smoking cessation: helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms in adults attempting to quit tobacco use.
• Tobacco dependence: provides a controlled nicotine dose to aid gradual reduction of nicotine intake.
• Relapse prevention: supports maintaining abstinence after quitting by mitigating occasional urges.

• Nicotine in the oral spray is absorbed through the oral mucosa and acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system. This stimulation partially replaces the nicotine from cigarettes, reducing the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while allowing the user to taper nicotine exposure over time.

Common side effects are usually mild and transient.
