Nicotine bitartrate dihydrate was first developed to aid smokers trying to quit. Today, it’s seen wide use in tablets and other oral formulations of nicotine.
As a water-soluble compound, working with it is straightforward, making it highly versatile. It has a potent reaction at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, strongly activating them. That’s why it feels like it has such a stimulating effect on users.
Using Nicotine Bitartrate Dihydrate
One of the main reasons people use it is to lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms. By using orally-active nicotine, the body has less severe shocks when quitting smoking. Once everything clears your system, the salts alleviate most withdrawal symptoms, mitigating discomfort.
They’ve studied its effects to measure its effectiveness compared to placebo. The results were promising, notably improving long-term quit rates. Using it reduces the intensity of cravings and withdrawals, improving success rates.
It has even decreased people’s smoking habits who weren’t actively trying to quit. When studied, they found it had the best results when used on heavy smokers, too.
Does It Have Any Contraindications?
Compared with many compounds, it has a relatively benign side effect profile. Still, it’s not advised for people with adverse reactions to nicotine.
The FDA believes it to be less harmful than smoking, even in those with heart conditions. So, they’ve lifted their recommendations against it in people with active smoking habits. However, there’s still a contraindication for people with diabetic stomach ulcers, unfortunately.
