Nicotine Citron Sans Sucre, Édulcorée Au Xylitol Eg Labo (Nicotine Resinate)

Nicotine Resinate is used in nicotine replacement therapy to support smoking cessation.

• Smoking cessation: helps adult smokers reduce cravings and manage withdrawal during the quitting process.
• Relapse prevention: assists individuals who have stopped smoking to maintain abstinence and avoid return to tobacco use.
• Tobacco dependence management: provides a controlled nicotine source to gradually wean users off nicotine.

• Nicotine Resinate acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, mimicking the pharmacologic effects of nicotine from tobacco. By stimulating these receptors, it alleviates withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings, allowing a gradual reduction in nicotine dependence while avoiding the harmful combustion products of cigarettes.

Nicotine Resinate may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

• Mouth irritation or soreness
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Headache
• Dizziness or light‑headedness
• Hiccups or throat discomfort
• Insomnia or disturbed sleep

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Severe chest pain or palpitations
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat
• Elevated blood pressure
• Persistent vomiting
• Signs of nicotine toxicity (confusion, tremor).

When using Nicotine Resinate, consider the following safety measures.

• Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate recent heart events before initiating therapy.
• Hypertension monitoring: avoid use in uncontrolled high blood pressure.
• Concomitant nicotine products: do not use with other nicotine‑containing items.
• Dependence risk: monitor for signs of continued nicotine dependence.
• Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and heat.

Nicotine Resinate can interact with several medications; awareness of these interactions helps ensure safe use.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): may increase risk of hypertensive episodes.
• Certain antihypertensive drugs: nicotine can counteract blood‑pressure‑lowering effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

• Insulin or oral hypoglycemics: nicotine may affect glucose control, requiring dose adjustments.
• Warfarin: nicotine may alter anticoagulant response, necessitating INR monitoring.
• Caffeine‑containing products: nicotine can enhance stimulant effects, leading to jitteriness.
