ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a selectively removable nicotine-containing dosage form for use in the transmucosal delivery of nicotine to a patient. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a nicotine-containing dosage-form comprising an attached holder member which may be used to manipulate the dosage form within the mouth of the patient as part of an effective smoking cessation program or in situations where smoking is undesirable or not permitted. Nicotine is released from a dosage form and absorbed through the intra-oral mucosal surfaces as the nicotine-containing matrix releases nicotine within the user's mouth. The user may selectively insert and remove the dosage form as desired to control the release of nicotine. In addition, the user may manipulate the dosage form by use of the holder means in such a manner to meet the user's psychological need or desire for ritualistic oral stimulation similar to cigarette smoking.
