Niquitin Mini (Nicotine Resinate)

Niquitin Mini is a nicotine replacement product used to support individuals attempting to quit tobacco use.

• Smoking cessation: assists adult smokers in quitting by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
• Nicotine dependence: provides controlled nicotine to alleviate physiological dependence.
• Tobacco use disorder: supports reduction of cigarette consumption during quit attempts.

• 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 reduces the intensity of withdrawal symptoms and cravings, facilitating a gradual reduction in tobacco consumption while maintaining a level of nicotine sufficient to prevent severe withdrawal.

• Nausea: transient feeling of queasiness after administration.
• Hiccups: brief, involuntary diaphragm contractions.
• Headache: mild to moderate discomfort.

• Allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
