Nicotinell Cool Mint (Nicotine Polacrilex)

Nicotine Polacrilex is a polymer‑bound nicotine complex that releases nicotine slowly when the lozenge dissolves in the mouth. The nicotine then binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, producing a mild stimulant effect that mimics the action of tobacco‑derived nicotine and eases withdrawal.

The prescriber determines the appropriate lozenge strength and frequency based on the individual’s smoking level. Typical regimens start with one lozenge every one to two hours, not exceeding the daily maximum recommended by the healthcare professional. Exact dosing must follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established; the product carries an unknown pregnancy category. Healthcare providers should weigh potential benefits against possible risks before recommending use to pregnant or nursing individuals.

Compared with nicotine patches or gum, the lozenge offers rapid buccal absorption and a mint flavor that may improve compliance. It allows flexible dosing but can cause more oral irritation than patches. Choice depends on patient preference, tolerance and clinical considerations.

Store the lozenges at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children.

Place a lozenge between the gum and cheek and allow it to dissolve slowly without chewing or swallowing whole. Avoid eating or drinking for at least 15 minutes after placement to ensure optimal nicotine absorption.

Rare but serious reactions can include severe allergic responses such as rash, swelling or breathing difficulty, significant cardiovascular events like chest pain or arrhythmia, and persistent mouth ulceration. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.

People who are not current smokers, those with recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension, severe oral lesions, or known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any excipients should avoid using this product. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before starting.
