An earplug (1) for administering a fluid agent into an ear canal is provided. The earplug (1) comprises a first part (10) adapted for insertion in the ear canal. The first part comprises an elongated member (11) having a chamber (12) for containing the fluid agent, the chamber (12) having at least one outlet (13) at a proximal end (14) of the elongated member (11); and a malleable member (17) disposed laterally of the elongated member (11). The earplug (1) further comprises a second part (20) comprising a piston (21). The piston (21) has a first end (22) which is insertable in the elongated member (11), and a second end (23) which has a push member (24). The piston (21) is displaceable from a first position (A) distally of the chamber (12) to a second position (B) within the chamber (12), such that the fluid agent is injected from the chamber (12) through the outlet (13) into the ear canal.

A product for oral delivery of nicotine comprising a powder composition of a nicotine source, at least one pH adjusting agent, and at least one filler, contained in a pouch which is permeable to saliva and to components of the powder composition once dissolved in saliva, wherein the composition has a solubility of less than 5 g/100 ml. The invention also relates to a method for preparing said product and also the use of said product.
