Indications & Clinical Uses

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

  • Smoking cessation: reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms in adult smokers.
  • Nicotine dependence: supports gradual reduction of nicotine intake.
  • Relapse prevention: helps maintain abstinence when combined with behavioral support.

How It Works

  • Nicotine acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, partially stimulating these receptors to alleviate withdrawal while delivering lower, controlled nicotine levels than cigarettes, thereby reducing cravings and facilitating cessation.

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

Common Side Effects

  • Mouth irritation: discomfort or soreness in the oral cavity.
  • Throat irritation: mild soreness or tickle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Niquitin is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with nicotine dependence.

Nicotine in Niquitin binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, providing a controlled, lower level of stimulation that eases withdrawal while allowing the smoker to gradually reduce nicotine intake.

The appropriate dose of Niquitin is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, level of dependence, and medical history.

The safety of Niquitin in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing should consult their healthcare provider before use.

To order Niquitin, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Niquitin delivers nicotine via an oromucosal route, offering rapid absorption similar to other gums or lozenges. Compared with patches, it provides quicker relief of cravings but requires more frequent dosing. Choice depends on patient preference, lifestyle and clinical guidance.

Store Niquitin at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain product stability.

Niquitin is placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve slowly, allowing nicotine to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. Users should avoid swallowing the product whole and follow the administration instructions provided by their healthcare professional.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or breathing difficulty, chest pain, arrhythmias, severe skin reactions, persistent vomiting, and significant drops in blood pressure. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.

Niquitin should not be used by individuals who are not current smokers, those with known hypersensitivity to nicotine, patients with recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina, and anyone advised against nicotine use by their physician.
