INDICATIONS: Nicotine is a natural alkaloid which occurs in the leaves of the tobacco plant. Nicotine has ganglion stimulating properties and therefore produces a wide range of pharmacological actions in the body. Nicorette Gum With Fruit Chill is an effective nicotine replacement therapy in a convenient oral dosage form. Nicorette can be used by smokers two ways to control cravings: on a regular schedule to prevent cravings or during unexpected cravings. Nicorette Chewing Gum is a therapeutic agent intended to help smokers break the psychological habit of smoking by reducing the nicotine withdrawal symptoms normally experienced when stopping smoking. As the absorption of nicotine from Nicorette Nicotine Chewing Gum differs from that of a cigarette, the same satisfaction as that obtained from a cigarette will not be achieved. Therefore, once the psychological part of the smoking dependence has been overcome, Nicorette Chewing Gum is usually not difficult to give up.
INGREDIENTS: Active Ingredients: Nicotine Polacrilex, 4mg.
DIRECTIONS: If you are under 18 years of age ask a doctor before use. Before using this product, read the enclosed User's Guide for complete directions and other important information. Stop smoking completely when you begin using the gum. If you smoke less than 25 cigarettes a day; use 2 mg nicotine gum. If you smoke 25 or more cigarettes a day; use according to the following 12 week schedule. Weeks 1 to 6: 1 piece every 1 to 2 hours. Weeks 7 to 9: 1 piece every 2 to 4 hours. Weeks 10 to 12:1 piece every 4 to 8 hours. Nicotine gum is a medicine and must be used a certain way to get the best results. Chew the gum slowly until it tingles, then park it between your cheek and gum. When the tingle is gone, begin chewing again, until the tingle returns. Repeat this process until most of the tingle is gone (about 30 minutes). Do not eat or drink for 15 minutes before chewing the gum, or while chewing a piece. To improve your chances of quitting, use at least 9 pieces per day for the first 6 weeks. If you experience strong or frequent cravings, you may use a second piece within the hour. However, do not continuously use one piece after another since this may cause you hiccups, heartburn, nausea or other side effects. Do not use more than 24 pieces a day. Stop using the nicotine gum at the end of 12 weeks. If you still feel the need to use nicotine gum, talk to your doctor.
