Description

Nicorette Quit Smoking Nicotine Gum serves as a reliable aid for those embarking on the journey to quit smoking. As a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), this gum is designed to alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with nicotine dependence, providing a controlled dose of nicotine to help manage the transition away from cigarettes.

Available Strengths

• 2 mg: Recommended for individuals who smoke fewer than 20–25 cigarettes per day or those who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking.
• 4 mg: Suitable for those who smoke 20–25 or more cigarettes per day or smoke within 30 minutes of waking.

Flavor Variety

Nicorette Gum offers a wide range of flavors to suit different preferences, including:

• Classic
• Mint (Icy Mint, Freshmint, White Ice Mint)
• Citrus
• Fruit (Fresh Fruit, Fruit Chill)
• Cinnamon (Cinnamon Surge)
• Cherry
• Spearmint Burst

How It Works

The gum is square-shaped, with color variations depending on its strength and flavor. As it is chewed, nicotine is released and absorbed through the lining of the mouth, effectively reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, stress, and irritability.

Usage Instructions

1. Chew one piece slowly until a tingling or peppery taste is felt.
2. Park the gum between the cheek and gums.
3. Alternate chewing and parking until the tingling fades, approximately 30 minutes per piece.

Avoid swallowing the gum or its juices and refrain from consuming acidic beverages like coffee or soda 15 minutes before and during use.

Recommended Dosage

• Adults only: Use one piece every 1–2 hours when cravings occur.
• Typical use:
• 2 mg: 8–12 pieces per day, not exceeding 20 pieces.
• 4 mg: 4–6 pieces per day, not exceeding 10 pieces.

A minimum of 9 pieces per day is recommended for the first 6 weeks, with a treatment period of 12 weeks followed by a gradual reduction over 4 weeks. Extended use beyond one year should be under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

Indications

This gum is intended for adults aiming to quit smoking or vaping and can be used alone or alongside other NRTs for managing stronger cravings. It may also help mitigate weight gain associated with quitting smoking.

Precautions

Not suitable for non-smokers, occasional smokers, or individuals under 12 years old. Those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with certain medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Storage

Store below 25°C (77°F), away from heat and light, and keep out of reach of children and pets. Nicorette Gum is sugar-free, though it may adhere to dental work and contains xylitol, which can have a laxative effect in high doses.

Effectiveness

For optimal results, use Nicorette Gum as part of a comprehensive stop-smoking program, ideally with behavioral support, to enhance its effectiveness in achieving a smoke-free life.
