Medication details

Description

Nicorette gum contains nicotine to help with cravings while quitting smoking. The nicotine is absorbed through the lining of the mouth, providing relief from nicotine withdrawal symptoms in as little as 5 minutes. Nicorette's patented dual-coated technology provides a taste-free nicotine release, allowing smokers to quit without sacrificing flavor.

Directions

Using Nicorette Gum is straightforward and empowers you to regain control over your smoking habits:

- Choose an appropriate strength of Nicorette Gum based on your smoking pattern and level of nicotine dependence. The gum comes in various strengths.

- When you experience cravings, chew the gum slowly until you notice a peppery taste or tingling sensation.

- Once the taste or sensation is prominent, 'park' the gum between your cheek and gum, allowing it to rest.

- Once the tingling subsides, resume chewing the gum slowly.
Repeat the process until the craving diminishes or for about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Nicorette Gum contains nicotine as its active ingredient. Unlike cigarettes, which contain numerous harmful chemicals, Nicorette Gum provides nicotine without the tar and carbon monoxide found in tobacco smoke. The gum comes in varying strengths, allowing you to gradually reduce nicotine intake over time.

Side Effects

Nicorette Gum is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience side effects, including:

- Mouth or Throat Irritation: Chewing too fast or excessively may lead to mouth or throat irritation.

- Hiccups, Indigestion, or Coughing: These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

- Increased Heart Rate: Nicotine may cause a slight increase in heart rate.

- Nausea: Some users may experience mild nausea, which often improves with time.

If side effects are severe or persistent, consult a healthcare professional.

Warnings

Before using Nicorette Gum, consider the following precautions:

- Consult a Healthcare Professional: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have underlying medical conditions, consult a healthcare provider before using Nicorette Gum.

- Age Restrictions: Nicorette Gum is recommended for adults aged 18 years and older.

- Smoking Cessation Plan: Nicorette Gum is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive smoking cessation program, which may include behavioral counseling.

- Gradual Reduction: Over time, aim to reduce your use of Nicorette Gum to effectively manage nicotine cravings and withdrawal.
