What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Nicorette Freshmint Gums?

Nicorette Gums are designed to help manage nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms experienced when trying to quit smoking. They provide a controlled release of nicotine to help alleviate these symptoms, making it easier to break the habit and quit smoking successfully.

How do Nicorette Freshmint Gums work?

When you chew Nicorette Freshmint Gums, the nicotine is released and absorbed through the lining of your mouth and into your body. This helps to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms by providing a controlled dose of nicotine. The gums are designed to be chewed intermittently, allowing for a gradual release of nicotine over a period of 30 minutes.

How long does it take for the nicotine gum to start working?

The nicotine in Nicorette Freshmint Gums starts to be absorbed through the lining of your mouth within a few minutes of chewing. However, it may take up to 30 minutes for the full effects to be felt, as the gum is designed to release nicotine gradually over this period.

Can I use Nicorette gum while still smoking?

It is not recommended to use Nicorette Freshmint Gums while still smoking regularly. The gums are intended to be used as a smoking cessation aid, and using them while continuing to smoke can lead to an overdose of nicotine, potentially causing adverse side effects.

How many pieces of Nicorette gum can I chew per day?

The recommended dosage for Nicorette Freshmint 4mg Gums is to chew one piece every 1-2 hours, up to a maximum of 15 pieces per day.

Ingredients

Nicotine 4mg

Usage and Instructions

Adults and children aged 12 years and over:

Chew one piece when you feel the urge to smoke.
Please note the chewing technique below and read the enclosed leaflet before starting to use the product:

Chew slowly until taste becomes strong.
Rest between gum and cheek.
Chew again when taste has faded.

As a rough guide, most people start by using between 8-12 and up to 15 pieces of nicotine gum each day.
It’s advisable to use the gum for at least three months and then gradually reduce the number of pieces you chew. Once you are only using 1 or 2 pieces a day, you should be able to stop completely.
If you start with the Full Strength 4mg Gum, the best time to switch to the Low Strength 2mg Gum is during the reduction stage.

Do not use more than 15 pieces a day.

You are more likely to quit smoking when using this product with help from your pharmacist, doctor, a trained counsellor or a support programme.
