Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is banned by law in Guinea, and its products are neither regulated as medicinal products nor included on the country's essential drugs list. Therefore, it is illegal to sell NRT products. It is not clear whether these products can be imported for personal use, so it is advised to keep the prescription or purchase documents with you.
