Nicotine polacrilex is the form of nicotine found in oral products used to help people quit smoking cigarettes. The nicotine is bound to an ion-exchange resin in these products to facilitate controlled release and aid in the absorption through the mucous membranes in the mouth. These products can provide a means to ease nicotine withdrawal symptoms and overcome the addiction to smoking.

Products containing nicotine polacrilex most often take the form of gum or occasionally lozenges. Nicotine polacrilex can help the person deal with withdrawal by providing a replacement source of nicotine without the other dangerous health effects of smoking. The Nicotine polacrilex gum provides a lower level of nicotine to the blood stream than cigarettes, prevents exposure to carcinogens, does not contain the tar or carbon monoxide of cigarette smoke and allows people to gradually reduce dependence on nicotine.

Nicotine Polacrilex chewing gum is formulated to provide blood nicotine levels via buccal absorption that approximates those produced by the inhalation of tobacco smoke. In this case, the pharmacokinetics of nicotine favors buccal (rather than gastrointestinal) absorption. Absorption from the mouth is more rapid than from the stomach and the absorbed nicotine avoids immediate and rapid inactivation by the liver.

The dosage of nicotine polacrilex varies for each individual, and generally depends on the extent of the person's smoking habit. There are most often two available dosages, one for light smokers who smoke less than 25 cigarettes per day and a higher dosage for heavier smokers. The product addresses broad spectrum physiological concerns and has the band width and capabilities to meet expectations. Regular use should exhibit demonstrable results to inhibit various health related issues.
