Description:

Each medicated chewing gum delivers a controlled dose of nicotine to relieve withdrawal symptoms and cigarette cravings, making it easier to quit smoking gradually. The sugar-free formula helps protect dental health and is suitable for smokers who prefer a classic, non-fruity taste. This pack contains 105 gums, providing convenient, on-the-go support during smoking cessation programs.

Indications:

• Smoking cessation aid for adults who wish to stop smoking completely.
• Helps reduce the intensity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating.
• Helps control sudden cigarette cravings during a quit attempt.
• May be used to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked as a step towards quitting completely, for smokers not ready to stop abruptly.
• Suitable as part of a structured smoking cessation program under healthcare professional supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nicotine – 4 mg per medicated chewing gum (nicotine resin complex; exact salt/formulation may vary by market and is not specified on the product name).
• Other excipients typically include gum base, sweeteners, flavoring agents, and stabilizers (full excipient list and exact concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website and should be checked on the product leaflet).
• Sugar-free formulation – contains non-sugar sweeteners (specific sweeteners and their concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Intended for adults (18 years and over) who are daily smokers.
• Choose 4 mg strength if you are a moderate to heavy smoker (typically 20 or more cigarettes per day) or if you have strong nicotine dependence, as advised by a healthcare professional.
• Chew-and-Park Technique: Chew one gum slowly until a strong taste or tingling is felt, then “park” the gum between the gum and cheek. When the taste or tingling fades, start chewing again. Repeat this chew-and-park cycle for about 30 minutes, then discard the gum.
• Recommended frequency: Use one gum whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Usually 8–12 gums per day is sufficient for most users, and should not exceed the maximum daily dose stated in the package leaflet (commonly up to 15–24 gums per day depending on local guidelines; refer to the actual product leaflet for the exact maximum allowed).
• Duration of use: Typically used for up to 3 months for intensive treatment, then gradually reduce the number of gums per day until you can stop using them completely. Do not use for longer than recommended without medical advice.
• Do not chew more than one gum at a time.
• Do not eat or drink while chewing the gum, and avoid acidic beverages (coffee, soft drinks, juices) 15 minutes before and during use, as they can reduce nicotine absorption.
• Use only as directed in the patient information leaflet or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to quit smoking.
• Provides controlled, measured nicotine delivery without exposure to harmful tar, carbon monoxide, and many other toxic substances found in cigarette smoke.
• Supports a gradual reduction in nicotine dependence through stepwise dose reduction and fewer gums per day.
• Sugar-free formula helps minimize the risk of tooth decay compared with sugar-containing gums.
• Convenient, discreet gum format allows on-demand use whenever cravings occur, supporting smoke-free behavior in public and at work.
