Nicorette Gum Fruit - 4 Mg 105 Pack

Description:

Nicorette Gum Fruit - 4 mg 105 Pack is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) medicinal chewing gum designed to help adult smokers quit smoking or reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke. Each piece of gum delivers a controlled dose of nicotine to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms, without the harmful tar, carbon monoxide, and thousands of toxic chemicals found in cigarette smoke. This fruit-flavoured medicated gum is suitable for motivated smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day and are looking for a structured, stepwise smoking cessation program under pharmacist or physician guidance.

Indications:

• Aid to smoking cessation in adults who are motivated to stop smoking.
• Reduction of nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and increased appetite when stopping or reducing smoking.
• Helps control sudden cigarette cravings during a quit attempt.
• May be used as part of a gradual reduction strategy for smokers who are not able to quit abruptly, under healthcare professional supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nicotine – 4 mg per chewing gum piece (nicotine resin complex). This is the main active ingredient responsible for reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
• Other excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (such as sweeteners, gum base, flavoring agents, and stabilizers) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the product leaflet or outer carton for a complete ingredient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Recommended for adult smokers (18 years and above) who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day. For lighter smokers, a lower strength (2 mg) gum is usually recommended; consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• 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 gum and cheek. When the taste or tingling fades, start chewing again. Repeat this chew/park cycle for about 30 minutes, then discard the gum.
• Typical dosing (full cessation): Use 1 piece of 4 mg gum when you feel the urge to smoke, usually 8–12 pieces per day. Do not exceed 24 pieces of 4 mg gum in 24 hours.
• Duration of therapy: Usually 8–12 weeks. Gradually reduce the number of gums per day over time. Once you are down to 1–2 gums per day, you should be able to stop using the gum completely.
• For reduction of smoking: Use a piece of gum instead of a cigarette when you feel the urge to smoke, aiming to reduce the number of cigarettes per day as much as possible. Seek advice from a healthcare professional for a personalized reduction plan.
• Do not eat or drink while chewing the gum. Avoid acidic drinks (such as coffee, soft drinks, fruit juices) 15 minutes before and during use, as they may reduce nicotine absorption.
• Use only as directed in the patient information leaflet and under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have any chronic medical conditions.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps relieve nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stop smoking.
• Provides a controlled dose of nicotine without exposure to tar, carbon monoxide, and many harmful substances present in cigarette smoke.
• Supports both abrupt quitting and gradual reduction strategies as part of a comprehensive smoking cessation program.
• Flexible, on-demand dosing allows you to manage cravings in high‑risk situations (after meals, during stress, social events).
• Fruit flavor improves palatability, encouraging adherence to the quit plan.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Nicorette Gum is a medicine containing nicotine and should not be used by non-smokers or occasional smokers.
• Contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to nicotine or any component of the gum.
• Use with caution and only under medical supervision in patients with recent myocardial infarction, unstable or worsening angina (including Prinzmetal’s angina), severe cardiac arrhythmias, recent stroke, or uncontrolled hypertension.
• Patients with diabetes should monitor blood glucose levels more frequently when stopping smoking, as nicotine and smoking cessation can affect glycemic control.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Nicotine passes into breast milk and across the placenta. Smoking cessation without NRT is preferred in pregnancy if possible.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, active peptic ulcer disease, or any serious medical condition.
• Not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age unless specifically prescribed by a physician.
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose. Overuse may increase the risk of nicotine toxicity.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion by children can cause severe poisoning and may be life‑threatening.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease other than as an aid to smoking cessation.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include mouth and throat irritation, hiccups, jaw discomfort, increased salivation, nausea, indigestion, and stomach discomfort, especially if chewed too quickly.
• Other possible effects include headache, dizziness, insomnia, palpitations, and changes in heart rate or blood pressure.
• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling of the lips, face, or tongue are rare but require immediate medical attention.
• If you experience severe chest pain, irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, or signs of nicotine overdose (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cold sweat, confusion, weakness), stop using the gum and seek urgent medical care.
