Niquitin Minilozenge (Nicotine)

Nicotine acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. By stimulating these receptors, it releases dopamine and other neurotransmitters, which reduces the neurochemical imbalance that causes withdrawal and cravings during a quit attempt.

The exact dosing regimen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a prescriber will advise how many lozenges to use per day and the interval between doses, based on the individual’s level of nicotine dependence.

Safety of nicotine lozenges in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using the product.

Compared with nicotine patches or gum, the lozenge offers rapid oromucosal absorption and flexible dosing, allowing users to control intake based on cravings. Patches provide steady plasma levels, while gum requires chewing. Choice depends on personal preference, smoking pattern and clinician recommendation.

Store the lozenges at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original container to protect them from moisture and light. Keep them out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.

Place a lozenge in the mouth and allow it to dissolve slowly, moving it occasionally from one side of the mouth to the other. Do not chew or swallow whole; the gradual dissolution ensures consistent nicotine absorption through the oral mucosa.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or anaphylaxis, chest pain that may indicate cardiac issues, and nicotine toxicity manifested by persistent vomiting, dizziness or rapid heart rate. Seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.

The lozenge is not intended for non‑smokers, children, or individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine. It should also be avoided by patients who have had a recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or severe cardiovascular disease unless specifically approved by a physician.
