Nicorette Nasal Spray (Nicotine) is an over-the-counter product used to provide rapid relief from nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms, particularly for heavy smokers. Quitting smoking can help improve physical and mental health, reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illnesses. The active ingredient in Nicorette Nasal Spray is Nicotine. Nicotine belongs to a class of medications known as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). It works by delivering a quick dose of nicotine through the nasal passages, where it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. This provides fast relief from cravings.
