An Overview of Nicotine Polacrilex Pouches as Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Abstract

Nicotine addiction is the major global health concern, and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is the most effective strategy for smoking cessation. There are several types of formulations available for nicotine replacement therapy, which include gums, lozenges, inhalers, patches, and pouches. Several studies indicate that the nicotine polacrilex pouch provides controlled nicotine delivery and reduces the craving intensity. The nicotine polacrilex pouch has emerged as a oral delivery form. The nicotine polacrilex pouch contains pharmaceutical-grade nicotine that makes it distinct from traditional smokeless tobacco alternatives, as they deliver nicotine without a large number of harmful constituents associated with smoking cigarettes.
