nicorette® Gum Icemint 4mg

Quitting smoking with NICORETTE® Gum
Nicotine gum delivers nicotine quickly and individually, noticeably relieving withdrawal symptoms and making it easier to quit smoking.
NICORETTE® gum is suitable for immediate and gradual smoking cessation. The gum can also be used for temporary abstinence from smoking.

Mechanism of Action
NICORETTE® gum releases nicotine when chewed, which is absorbed through the oral mucosa. When chewing a 2 mg gum, nicotine levels in the blood reach approximately 1/3, and with a 4 mg gum, approximately 2/3 of the levels achieved by smoking cigarettes.

Nicotine Levels
NICORETTE® gum is primarily suitable for irregular smokers. Regular smokers who prefer this form of application can also use the gum approximately every hour.

Immediate Smoking Cessation with NICORETTE® Gum
If you smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day, use a 2 mg nicotine gum. If your cigarette consumption is 20 or more cigarettes, start with the 4 mg nicotine gum. Simply chew when you crave a cigarette or use approximately every hour for 4 to 6 weeks. Afterward, gradually reduce the number of gums for another 4 to 6 weeks.

Optimal is 8-12 nicotine gums per day, with a maximum of 24 pieces per day. If you use more than 15 pieces of the 2 mg gum daily, you should switch to 4 mg gum.

The application should last at least 4-6 weeks, with a subsequent reduction in the number of gums for up to 3 months. Discontinue therapy as soon as you only use 1 to 2 gums daily. Therapy longer than 6 months is not recommended.

Application:
Chew very slowly for about 1 minute until you feel a spicy/peppery taste. Then place the nicotine gum between your teeth and cheek until the taste subsides. Repeat these two steps for 30 minutes. Do not chew too vigorously! Then follow half an hour without gum.
