Nicorette 4mg Icy Mint Sugar-Free Chewing Gum - Box of 105 Gums

Description:

Nicorette 4mg Icy Mint Sugar-Free Chewing Gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) medicine designed to help adult smokers quit smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke. Each sugar-free medicated chewing gum delivers a controlled 4 mg dose of nicotine to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking cessation. The refreshing icy mint flavor and chewable gum format provide a discreet and convenient way to manage urges to smoke throughout the day, supporting both complete smoking cessation and gradual reduction programs under medical or pharmacist guidance.

Indications:

• Smoking cessation aid for adults who wish to stop smoking completely.
• Helps reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and increased appetite when quitting smoking.
• Reduces the intensity and frequency of cigarette cravings.
• May be used as part of a stepwise reduction program for smokers who are not ready to quit abruptly but want to cut down before stopping.
• Suitable for smokers with a high level of nicotine dependence (typically those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day or who smoke within 30 minutes of waking) where 4 mg strength is recommended.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nicotine (as nicotine resin complex) – 4 mg per chewing gum.
• Excipients (non-active ingredients) typically include gum base, sweeteners (sugar-free, such as xylitol, sorbitol or similar), flavoring agents (icy mint flavor), and stabilizers. Exact excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the package leaflet for full details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Intended for adults (18 years and above). Use under the advice of a healthcare professional or pharmacist, especially for heavy smokers or those with medical conditions.
• Chew and park technique: Chew one piece of gum slowly until the taste becomes strong or you feel a tingling sensation, then “park” the gum between the cheek and gum. When the taste or tingling fades, start chewing again. Repeat this chew/park cycle for about 30 minutes, then discard the gum.
• Typical dosing for smoking cessation (high dependence): Usually 1 piece of 4 mg gum when you feel the urge to smoke, generally 8–12 pieces per day, not exceeding the maximum daily dose specified in the package insert (commonly up to 15–20 pieces per day; check local product leaflet and follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions).
• Use one piece at a time. Do not use more than one gum simultaneously.
• Do not chew like ordinary gum (continuous, rapid chewing) as this may increase side effects such as hiccups or stomach discomfort.
• Avoid eating or drinking (especially acidic beverages such as coffee, soft drinks, or fruit juices) 15 minutes before and during chewing, as this may reduce nicotine absorption.
• Duration of treatment is usually up to 3 months, then gradually reduce the number of gums per day until you can stop completely. Do not use for longer than 6–9 months without medical advice.
• If you still feel strong cravings or are unable to reduce usage, consult your doctor or pharmacist for further support or alternative therapy.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to quit smoking and stay smoke-free.
• Reduces sudden cigarette cravings by providing a controlled dose of nicotine without exposure to tar, carbon monoxide, and many harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke.
• Supports both abrupt cessation and gradual reduction strategies, allowing a more flexible and personalized quit plan.
• Sugar-free icy mint flavor helps maintain oral freshness and is suitable for users who need to avoid sugar.
• Convenient, discreet chewing gum format that can be used at work, in public places, or when smoking is not allowed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• This product is a nicotine replacement medicine and should not be used by non-smokers or occasional smokers.
• Contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to nicotine or any of the excipients in the gum.
• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, including recent myocardial infarction, unstable or worsening angina, severe cardiac arrhythmias, recent stroke, or uncontrolled hypertension. Medical supervision is strongly recommended.
• Use with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, severe renal or hepatic impairment, or active peptic ulcer disease.
• Nicotine can increase heart rate and blood pressure; monitor if you have heart or circulatory problems.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Nicotine passes into breast milk and across the placenta. Smoking cessation without nicotine products is preferable during pregnancy; NRT may be considered only if the benefit outweighs the risk and under medical supervision.
• Not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years without medical advice.
• Do not smoke while using Nicorette gum, as this may lead to nicotine overdose.
• If you experience symptoms of nicotine overdose (nausea, vomiting, dizziness, abdominal pain, sweating, weakness, confusion, hearing or vision disturbances), stop using the gum and seek medical attention immediately.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking any other medications, especially for heart disease, depression, or asthma.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Even small amounts of nicotine can be dangerous for children.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease other than nicotine dependence as part of a smoking cessation program.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include hiccups, throat irritation, mouth or jaw discomfort, dry mouth, increased salivation, nausea, indigestion, stomach discomfort, and headache.
• Some users may experience dizziness, insomnia, irritability, or palpitations, especially at the start of treatment or if chewing too quickly.
• Oral or throat irritation and sore mouth or throat may occur due to the chewing and nicotine release.
• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling are rare but possible. Stop use and seek medical help if signs of allergy or difficulty breathing occur.
• If any side effects are severe, persistent, or you suspect nicotine overdose (severe nausea, vomiting, weakness, confusion, cold sweat, breathing difficulties), stop using the product and seek urgent medical attention.
