Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Nicotine oral spray is used in the management of nicotine dependence, a condition related to tobacco addiction.
  • Smoking cessation: assists adults who want to quit smoking by reducing withdrawal symptoms.
  • Nicotine dependence: provides controlled nicotine to alleviate cravings.
  • Tobacco use disorder: supports gradual reduction of tobacco intake through nicotine replacement.

How It Works

  • Nicotine in the oral spray binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the oral mucosa, stimulating them and delivering low, steady doses of nicotine into the bloodstream. This mimics the nicotine received from cigarettes, reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings while allowing the user to taper nicotine exposure over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nicorette Spray is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement product used to help adult smokers reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms when they are trying to quit smoking. It delivers nicotine through the oral mucosa as part of a structured cessation plan.

The nicotine in the spray binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the oral mucosa, providing a low, steady dose of nicotine that mimics the nicotine received from cigarettes. This stimulation reduces the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and helps the user gradually wean off tobacco.

The specific dosing regimen for Nicorette Spray is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, level of dependence, and treatment goals. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended number of sprays per day.

Safety data for nicotine oral spray in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers generally advise caution, as nicotine can cross the placenta and enter breast milk. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss alternatives with their clinician.

To order Nicorette Spray, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with nicotine gum or patches, the oral spray provides rapid absorption through the oral mucosa, giving quicker relief of cravings. It also allows precise dose control with each spray, which can be advantageous for users who need flexible dosing during the quit process.

Store Nicorette Spray at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the device in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the nozzle is capped when not in use to maintain product integrity.

The spray is used by directing the nozzle toward the inside of the mouth, typically between the cheek and gum, and pressing the actuator to release a measured spray. Users should avoid swallowing immediately and allow the spray to absorb through the oral mucosa.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and cardiovascular effects like increased blood pressure, rapid heart rate, or chest pain. If any of these occur, the user should stop the product and seek immediate medical attention.

Nicorette Spray is not recommended for non‑smokers, individuals with a known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any excipients in the formulation, and patients with uncontrolled hypertension or recent cardiovascular events unless advised by a healthcare professional.
