PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Nicorette Gum allows you to actively control how much nicotine you use and when you use it. It is available in two different strengths, Extra Strength 4mg Gum which is suitable for those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day and Regular Strength 2mg Gum which is suitable for those who smoke 20 cigarettes a day or less.

Its important to choose the correct strength to suit your individual smoking pattern.

Nicorette gum and patches contain approximately one third less nicotine than a cigarette, and allow you to avoid the harmful physical and chemical effects associated with smoking. The recommended minimum length of treatment is three months.

You can follow the recommended 12-week dosage program, or you can use the gum as needed. Most people find they can cease using the gum after six to nine months, but some heavy smokers choose to continue using the gum in order to prevent relapse.

DOSAGE/USAGE:

Most smokers start by using about 8-12 pieces of the 2mg gum and 4-6 pieces of the 4mg gum each day. You should use the gum for at least three months and then gradually reduce the number of pieces you chew.

If you start with the Extra Strength 4mg Gum, you can switch to the Regular Strength 2mg Gum during the reduction stage. Chew the gum slowly until the taste becomes strong. When this happens, rest the gum between your cheek and teeth. When the taste has faded chew the gum again.

PRECAUTIONS/WARNINGS:

Do not use if you are allergic to nicotine, are a non-smoker, pregnant, or a child. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other prescribed medications or if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
