Nicorette Spray 1mg/dose Oral Solution : Nicorette Spray is indicated in the treatment of tobacco dependence to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms in subjects wishing to stop smoking.
For warnings, precautions for use and contraindications, please consult the instructions for use.
Giving up cigarettes isn't just a question of willpower: it's a real inner battle, a battle between desire and reason, between habit and freedom. Nicorette Spray 1mg/dose Oral Solution is an essential ally in this key moment. Nicorette Spray is indicated for adults to treat tobacco dependence and relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Its role is to help all those who have made the decision to become non-smokers to go through the process more serenely, without stress or excessive frustration.
With a formula containing 1 mg nicotine per spray, Nicorette Spray provides your body with just the right amount of nicotine needed to reduce cravings, while easing irrepressible urges to smoke. By diffusing a fine, refreshing mint mist directly onto the oral mucosa, the spray delivers a controlled, rapid dose of nicotine, which reaches the bloodstream within seconds. This process partially reproduces the sensation of a cigarette, but without the toxic substances of tobacco, providing effective nicotine replacement without smoke or tar.
When it comes to quitting smoking, the first few weeks are often the most difficult. This is precisely when Nicorette Spray comes into its own: it acts as a temporary crutch, offering physiological and psychological support when temptation is strongest. Whether during a break, after a meal or in a stressful situation, a simple spray is all it takes to calm the immediate craving for a cigarette. This simple gesture becomes a new, positive habit, a ritual of freedom replacing that of smoking.
By accompanying the body through this process, Nicorette Spray helps stabilize nicotine levels in the blood, avoiding the side-effects associated with withdrawal: irritability, sleep disorders, nervousness or difficulty concentrating. This gentle transition helps the body regain its natural balance, while the mind gradually learns to detach itself from dependence. The product is therefore part of a controlled weaning process, ideal for those who want to give up cigarettes for good.
One of Nicorette Spray's major assets is its rapid action: in less than a minute, it soothes sudden cravings thanks to its targeted diffusion. What's more, its mentholated formula provides an immediate sensation of freshness, helping to reduce the reflex to smoke and improve oral comfort. Practical and discreet, it can be taken anywhere and used at any time of day. This format is particularly appreciated by active smokers looking for a mobile and effective solution to manage their nicotine cravings without attracting attention.
Last but not least, this spray fits perfectly into Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), recognized for its effectiveness in the treatment of smoking cessation. By combining Nicorette Spray with a personalized support program, such as medical follow-up or a stop-smoking application, the chances of success are considerably increased. Each spray becomes another step towards the decision to become a non-smoker, towards free breathing, a revitalized body and a new, addiction-free lifestyle.
In conclusion, Nicorette Spray 1mg/dose Oral Solution is much more than a simple substitute: it's a modern, fast and motivating solution for those who want to free themselves from tobacco. Thanks to its controllednicotine replacement, it helps to gradually reduce dependency while boosting self-confidence. If you're looking for an effective, practical way to give up cigarettes and take the decisive step of quitting smoking, this spray is the perfect companion.
Nicorette Spray is used in several progressive stages to maximize its effectiveness. First of all, you must stop smoking for the duration of the treatment. The complete protocol is divided into three phases:
Stage I: Weeks 1 to 6
During this period, use 1 to 2 sprays when you would normally have smoked a cigarette, or when you feel an irresistible urge to smoke. If the first spray is not enough to calm the craving, a second spray can be applied after a few minutes. Most users use 1 or 2 sprays every 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their needs.
Stage II: Weeks 7 to 9
Start gradually reducing the number of daily sprays. The aim is to halve the dose by the end of the ninth week, to help the body get used to less nicotine without experiencing excessive cravings.
Stage III: Weeks 10 to 12
Continue to reduce until you reach a maximum of 4 sprays a day in week 12. When you're down to 2 to 4 sprays a day, consider stopping altogether. If a sudden craving arises later on, a single spray will suffice to control it.
As a general rule, we advise against using the spray for longer than six months. However, some people may require longer use to avoid relapses. Never exceed 64 sprays per day, i.e. 4 sprays per hour for 16 hours.
When applying, open your mouth and place the spray tip as close as possible, without touching your lips. Press firmly to deliver a dose. Avoid inhaling and do not swallow immediately to allow nicotine to be fully absorbed. For optimum effectiveness, avoid eating or drinking while spraying.

Health education councils:
|
Stopping smoking as soon as possible results in immediate health benefits. It's never too late to quit even if you've smoked a long time and a lot . |
As soon as you stop smoking:
· You will not absorb the irritating and toxic substances of cigarettes,
· You will see some improvements: progressive disappearance of headaches, cough, irritation of the throat, shortness of breath,
· You will often have the satisfaction of regaining better sleep, food flavor, odor and improve your physical performance,
· You will decrease your risk of developing lung cancer or cardiovascular disease.
Moreover, in cardiac or arterial diseases (angina pectoris, arteritis of the lower limbs ...), it is particularly imperative to succeed in quitting smoking.
What is tobacco dependence?
Tobacco addiction is twofold:
· Psychological dependence :
Smoking a cigarette involves a ritual of automatic and repetitive gestures associated with particular circumstances (pleasure, response to stress, intellectual stimulation, support for morale, need for a gesture of conviviality). This is psychological and behavioral dependence.
· Physical dependence :
The need for the nicotine body is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. This is physical dependence. Failure to satisfy this need results in a sense of lack (see description in the chapter " How to overcome your physical dependence ?").
Nicotinic substitutes aim to treat this dependence.
How to overcome your psychological addiction?
· Stopping smoking is necessary to increase your chances of success, but more:
o Choose a J day in the period that you think is the most favorable.
o Throw away your last pack of cigarettes, your lighter and put away your ashtrays.
o In a couple of smokers, it is preferable that the attempt to stop is made at the same time by both spouses.
· Tell your family and co-workers that you quit smoking. Ask them to respect your decision (no smoking near you, no longer offering you cigarettes).
· Prepare yourself to cope with the desire to smoke. It may occur suddenly and severely, especially during the first few weeks after the cessation of smoking, but does not last more than 3 or 4 minutes.
You have to anticipate what you will do in this case and act very quickly so as not to "crack" as for example:
o drink a large glass of water,
o to chew gum,
o counting up to 100,
o do some deep breaths,
o out of the room,
o change activity ...
· Avoid situations associated with taking cigarettes (coffee, aperitif, ...), avoid temptations (settle with non-smokers).
· Find cigarette compensation (leisure, sport, cultural activity ...).
How to overcome your physical addiction?
If you are addicted to nicotine, the success of your approach may require the use of nicotine substitutes.
