Detailed Product Description
Nicotinell Gum is a medically designed aid for smokers seeking to quit or reduce nicotine dependency. The gum delivers 2mg of nicotine per piece, releasing it gradually through the mouth lining to ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It offers a safer alternative to smoking by minimizing exposure to harmful tobacco chemicals, while supporting users in managing the physical and psychological aspects of quitting. For best results, use in conjunction with a healthcare professional or structured cessation program. The peppermint and eucalyptus-flavored gum is chewed according to a specific technique (detailed in the leaflet) to optimize nicotine absorption and avoid swallowing.
Direction for Use
- Dosage: Chew 1 piece (2mg) when craving occurs, up to 8–12 pieces daily. Do not exceed 25 pieces per day.
- Chewing Technique: Chew slowly until a peppery taste is felt, then "park" between cheek and gum to allow nicotine absorption. Repeat this cycle for 30 minutes.
- Usage Notes: Do not swallow the gum. Dispose of used pieces wrapped in paper. Avoid eating or drinking 15 minutes before or during use.
- Duration: Follow a gradual tapering schedule (e.g., 12 pieces daily for weeks 1–6, reducing by 2 pieces every 2 weeks) as directed by a healthcare provider.
