nicotinell tts-10 Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

nicotinell tts-10, a pyridine alkaloid, is a stereo-selective nicotinic-cholinergic receptor agonist. Low doses cause an initial stimulation of autonomic ganglia, adrenal medulla, neuromuscular junction, and brain. High doses produce initial ganglionic stimulation followed by inhibition of neurotransmission leading to subsequent persistent depression of receptor activity.

nicotinell tts-10, the primary alkaloid in tobacco products binds stereo-selectively to nicotinic-cholinergic receptors on autonomic ganglia, the adrenal medulla, neuromuscular junctions and in the brain. nicotinell tts-10 exerts two effects, a stimulant effect exerted at the locus ceruleus and a reward effect in the limbic system. Itranvenous administration of nicotine causes release of acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonine, vasopressin, beta-endorphin and ACTH. nicotinell tts-10 is a highly addictive substance. nicotinell tts-10 also induces peripheral vasoconstriction, tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. nicotinell tts-10 inhalers and patches are used to treat smoking withdrawl syndrome. nicotinell tts-10 is classified as a stimulant of autonomic ganglia.

How nicotinell tts-10 works

nicotinell tts-10 is a stimulant drug that acts as an agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. These are ionotropic receptors composed up of five homomeric or heteromeric subunits. In the brain, nicotine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on dopaminergic neurons in the cortico-limbic pathways. This causes the channel to open and allow conductance of multiple cations including sodium, calcium, and potassium. This leads to depolarization, which activates voltage-gated calcium channels and allows more calcium to enter the axon terminal. Calcium stimulates vesicle trafficking towards the plasma membrane and the release of dopamine into the synapse. Dopamine binding to its receptors is responsible the euphoric and addictive properties of nicotine. nicotinell tts-10 also binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla. Binding opens the ion channel allowing influx of sodium, causing depolarization of the cell, which activates voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium triggers the release of epinephrine from intracellular vesicles into the bloodstream, which causes vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and increased blood sugar.

Dosage

nicotinell tts-10 dosage

Buccal:As chewing gum containing 2 mg or 4 mg nicotine polacrilex: Smokers of ≤20 cigarettes daily: Start with 2 mg chewed slowly and parked between cheek and gum over 30 min when urge to smoke occurs. Smokers of >20 cigarettes daily: Start with 4 mg. Max: 15 gums daily. As lozenge containing 1, 1.5, 2 or 4 mg nicotine polacrilex or tartrate: Initially, 1 loz 1-2 hrly allowing to slowly dissolve for 20-30 min. Usual dose: 8-12 loz daily. Max: 30 loz (1-mg strength) or 15 loz (higher strengths) daily. Continue treatment for up to 3 mth, then withdraw gradually.

Sublingual:As tab containing 2 mg nicotine β-cyclodextrin complex: 1-2 tab hrly, increased as necessary. Max: 40 tab daily. Continue treatment for up to 3 mth, then withdraw gradually.

Loz: May be taken with or without food. Suck until the taste becomes strong. Then, lodge the loz between the gum & cheek. When the taste fades, start sucking it again. Repeat until the loz completely dissolves (about 30 min). Do not swallow. Avoid coffee, acidic drinks or soft drinks for 15 min prior to sucking the loz.

Gum: May be taken with or without food. Chew gum until the taste becomes strong, then rest it between the gums & the cheek. When the taste fades, start chewing it again. Repeat the chewing routine for 30 min.

Side Effects

Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, hiccups, flu-like symptoms, palpitations, insomnia, vivid dreams, myalgia, chest pain, anxiety, irritability, somnolence, dysmenorrhoea; mouth (e.g. aphthous ulceration) and throat irritation; nasal irritation, epistaxis, lachrymation, salivation, swelling of the tongue (gum); unpleasant taste (loz); cough, rhinitis, stomatitis, sinusitis, dry mouth (inhalator); ear sensations (nasal spray); skin reactions (patch).

Toxicity

Symptoms of overdose include nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, diaphoresis, flushing, dizziness, disturbed hearing and vision, confusion, weakness, palpitations, altered respiration and hypotension. LD50= 24 mg/kg (orally in mice).

Precaution

Patient with CV disease (e.g. MI, severe arrhythmia, unstable angina pectoris, CVA, uncontrolled HTN), peripheral vascular disease, endocrine disorder (e.g. phaeochromocytoma, hyperthyroidism, DM), peptic ulcer, and skin disease (patch). Hepatic and renal impairment. Childn. Pregnancy and Lactation.

Interaction

May enhance the haemodynamic effects of adenosine. Decreased metabolism leading to increased plasma concentrations with methoxsalen.

Food Interaction

  • Take separate from meals. For nicotine gum, lozenges, and oral sprays, avoid eating and drinking for 15 minutes before and during its use.

Volume of Distribution

  • 2 to 3 L/kg

Elimination Route

Absorption of nicotine through the buccal mucosa is relatively slow and the high and rapid rise followed by the decline in nicotine arterial plasma concentrations seen with cigarette smoking are not achieved with the inhaler. About 10% of absorbed nicotine is excreted unchanged in urine.

Half Life

Cotinine has a half life of 15-20 hours, while nicotine has a half life of 1-3 hours

Clearance

  • 1.2 L/min [healthy adult smoker]

Elimination Route

About 10% of the nicotine absorbed is excreted unchanged in the urine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy Category D. There is positive evidence of human foetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).

Contraindication

Recent cerebrovascular accident. Self-medication in patients who will continue to smoke, chew tobacco, or use snuff or other nicotine-containing preparations. Non-smokers and occasional smokers.

Acute Overdose

Symptoms: Burning of the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, sweating, headache, dizziness, hearing and visual disturbances, weakness, confusion, syncope, prostration, dyspnoea, tachycardia, hypotension, rapid or weak or irregular pulse, seizure, resp failure, circulatory collapse, coma.

Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. Artificial respiration is instituted if necessary. Employ activated charcoal to reduce GI absorption. For TTS, the skin should be washed with water without using soap and dried.

Storage Condition

Store below 25˚ C. Protect from light and moisture.
