Patent

CA 2178021

The present invention relates generally to a cigarette substitute for administering a dose of nicotine. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a nicotine-containing dosage-form comprising a holder member which may be used as part of an effective smoking cessation program or in situations where smoking is undesirable or not permitted. The dosage form is configured as a dosage form having a nicotine-containing composition attached to a holder member. Nicotine is released from the dosage form and absorbed through the intra-oral mucosal surfaces as the nicotine-containing composition releases nicotine within a user's mouth. The holder member facilitates insertion and removal of the dosage form into and out of a user's mouth. The user can selectively insert and remove the dosage form as desired to selectively control the release of nicotine. In addition, the user can insert and remove the dosage form in a manner which meets the user's psychological need or desire for ritualistic oral stimulation similar to cigarette smoking.

Substitut de cigarette pour l'administration d'une dose de nicotine. Plus précisément, cette invention concerne une forme posologique contenant de la nicotine sur un élément porteur, que l'on peut utiliser dans le cadre d'un programme d'abandon du tabac ou lorsque l'usage du tabac est indésirable ou interdit. La forme posologique contient une composition contenant de la nicotine fixée à un élément porteur. La nicotine libérée de la forme posologique est absorbée par les muqueuses intrabuccales à mesure que la composition la libère dans la bouche de l'utilisateur. Grâce à l'élément porteur, l'utilisateur peut facilement introduire la forme posologique dans sa bouche et l'en retirer. Il peut donc à volonté soit introduire la forme posologique dans sa bouche ou l'en retirer, et contrôler ainsi la libération de nicotine. Il peut en outre le faire en fonction de son besoin psychologique ou de son désir de stimulation orale rituelle, comme il le ferait avec une cigarette.
