Nicorette Freshmint Sugar Free Nicotine Gum 4mg x 210
Nicorette Freshmint Sugar Free Nicotine Gum
Nicorette Freshmint 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum helps you control your nicotine intake, whether you’re quitting for good, cutting down slowly or at those times when you can’t or don’t want to smoke such as in pubs and restaurants or around children. It is a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) that quickly relieves the cravings and nicotine withdrawal symptoms you get when stopping smoking or reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke each day and works by releasing a controlled amount of nicotine that passes into your body through the lining of your mouth. The nicotine released from the gum is sufficient to relieve the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and stop the craving to smoke, but not as much as a normal cigarette provides and gives you the nicotine “hit” without the toxins in cigarette smoke such as tar, lead, cyanide and ammonia that cause smoking related disease.
Nicorette Freshmint 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum should be used by people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, before reducing to the 2mg strength. 2mg should also be used by those who smoke up to 20 cigarettes a day.
Nicorette Freshmint 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum may also benefit smokers who want to quit by helping to control the weight gain that may be experienced when trying to stop smoking.
When used correctly, Nicorette Freshmint 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum can significantly help your chances of stopping smoking successfully versus willpower alone. When making a quit attempt a behavioural support programme will increase your chances of success.
Nicorette 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum is also available in Original, Freshfruit and Icy White flavours.
Directions
– Chew one 2mg gum as required to relieve cravings.
– Use only one piece of gum at a time.
– Do not use more than 15 gums per day.
– The frequency with which you use the gums will depend on how many cigarettes you smoked and how strong they were.
How to chew Nicorette Freshmint 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum
The method of chewing Nicorette Nicotine Gum is not the same as for ordinary chewing gum. Nicorette Nicotine Gum gum is chewed to release nicotine then rested so that nicotine can be taken in through the lining of the mouth. If Nicorette Nicotine Gum is chewed continuously, the nicotine is released too quickly and is swallowed. This may irritate your throat, upset your stomach or give you hiccups.
– Chew slowly until taste becomes strong.
– Rest between gum and cheek.
– Chew again when the taste has faded.
– Keep chewing like this for about half an hour.
– After this time the gum will have lost its strength and you should dispose of it carefully.
For full directions, please see Patient Information Leaflet.
