Indications & Clinical Uses

Nicotinell Lakrids is a nicotine replacement therapy used within the smoking cessation pathway.

  • Smoking cessation: helps adult smokers reduce withdrawal symptoms while quitting.
  • Tobacco dependence: provides controlled nicotine to aid gradual reduction of use.
  • Relapse prevention: supports individuals who have recently quit to maintain abstinence.

How It Works

  • Nicotine Polacrilex is a nicotine salt complex that releases nicotine onto the buccal mucosa, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. The nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, partially stimulating them and thereby diminishing the intensity of withdrawal cravings and reducing the urge to smoke.

Side Effects

Adverse reactions may occur with buccal nicotine delivery.

Common Side Effects

  • Mouth irritation: mild soreness or tingling in the oral cavity.
  • Throat irritation: transient discomfort or scratchiness.
  • Nausea: occasional feeling of queasiness.
  • Hiccups: brief, involuntary diaphragm spasms.
  • Increased salivation: excess saliva production.
  • Dyspepsia: mild indigestion.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: rash, itching, or swelling.
  • Chest pain: unexplained discomfort in the chest area.
  • Irregular heartbeat: palpitations or arrhythmia.
  • Severe mouth ulcer: persistent ulceration.
  • Anaphylaxis: severe, life‑threatening allergic response.
  • Severe dizziness: marked vertigo or loss of balance.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Nicotinell Lakrids, consider the following safety measures.

  • Medical assessment: confirm the patient is an adult smoker seeking cessation.
  • Contraindications: avoid in individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine.
  • Pregnancy: use only if benefits outweigh risks; consult a healthcare professional.
  • Cardiovascular disease: monitor closely if the patient has recent myocardial infarction or uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Concurrent nicotine products: do not use together with other nicotine replacement therapies.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Avoid Interactions

Nicotinell Lakrids may interact with other medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): may increase hypertensive risk.
  • Beta‑blockers: nicotine may mask tachycardia symptoms.
  • CYP2A6 inhibitors: can raise nicotine plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Alcohol: may enhance nicotine's cardiovascular effects.
  • Caffeine: may increase jitteriness or nervousness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nicotinell Lakrids is a nicotine replacement therapy intended to help adult smokers manage nicotine withdrawal and cravings when they are trying to quit tobacco use. It is part of a comprehensive smoking‑cessation program.

Nicotine polacrilex is a nicotine‑salt complex that releases nicotine onto the buccal mucosa. The absorbed nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, providing a controlled stimulus that reduces the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke.

The specific dose and dosing schedule are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, dependence level, and overall health status. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions precisely.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Use only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks, and always discuss with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.

Nicotinell Lakrids delivers nicotine via a buccal lozenge, offering a discreet, non‑inhaled route that may be preferred over patches or gums for some users. Its nicotine polacrilex formulation provides rapid buccal absorption, which can result in quicker relief of cravings compared with slower‑release patches.

Store the lozenges at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container to protect them from moisture and excessive heat. Keep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

The lozenge is placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly, without chewing or swallowing whole. It should be kept in contact with the buccal mucosa until fully dissolved, providing nicotine absorption through the oral lining.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis, as well as cardiovascular events like chest pain or irregular heartbeat. Any signs of severe reaction should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any component of the lozenge should avoid it. It is also not recommended for children, adolescents, or non‑smokers, and caution is advised for patients with recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension, or severe cardiovascular disease.
