Niquitin (Nicotine)

Nicotine in Niquitin binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, partially stimulating them. This activation releases dopamine and other neurotransmitters, producing a mild nicotine effect that mimics smoking without the harmful smoke. The transdermal system maintains stable plasma nicotine levels, easing withdrawal and helping the user taper off nicotine over time.

The specific dose and duration of Niquitin are determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and medical condition. The prescriber selects the appropriate patch strength and treatment schedule, which may be adjusted during the cessation program.

Safety data for Niquitin in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the patch.

To order Niquitin, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide. After the request, the sales team will verify trade or institutional credentials, then provide pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Niquitin delivers nicotine continuously through the skin, which avoids the peaks and troughs associated with oral forms such as gum or lozenges. This steady delivery often results in fewer cravings and better adherence for many users. However, oral products allow flexible dosing and may be preferred by individuals who experience skin irritation from patches.

Store Niquitin patches at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original sealed pouch. Protect them from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the patches out of reach of children and pets, and avoid crushing or folding the patch before use.

Apply a single Niquitin patch to a clean, dry, hair‑free area of the upper body or upper outer arm. Press firmly for several seconds to ensure good contact. Wear the patch for the duration prescribed, usually 16–24 hours, then remove it, fold it adhesive side inward, and dispose of it safely.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as swelling, hives or severe rash, dizziness or light‑headedness, and nicotine toxicity presenting as nausea, vomiting, headache or confusion. Cardiovascular events such as chest pain or palpitations may also occur, especially in individuals with pre‑existing heart disease.

Niquitin should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to nicotine or any patch excipients, those who have recently experienced a heart attack, uncontrolled hypertension, or severe arrhythmias, and by anyone using other nicotine‑containing products simultaneously. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use it after consulting a healthcare professional.
