Special Import - Nicorette 4 mg menthe Fraiche sans sucre - 105 gommes

Description:

Nicorette 4 mg menthe Fraiche sans sucre is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in the form of sugar-free chewing gum, designed to help adult smokers reduce or stop smoking. Each medicated gum delivers a controlled dose of nicotine to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking cessation. The fresh mint flavour helps keep the breath fresh while providing a discreet and convenient aid to quit smoking as part of a comprehensive stop-smoking program that may include behavioural support and counselling.

Indications:

• Smoking cessation aid for adults who wish to stop smoking completely.
• Reduction of cigarette consumption in smokers who are not yet ready to quit abruptly, as a step towards complete cessation.
• Relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, and strong cravings for cigarettes.
• Support for smokers who need temporary abstinence from smoking in smoke-free environments (e.g., at work, on flights, in public places).
• Suitable for smokers with a high level of nicotine dependence, typically those who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day (4 mg strength is usually recommended for heavy smokers).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nicotine – 4 mg per chewing gum (nicotine replacement therapy to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings).
• Other excipients (non-active ingredients) typically include gum base, sweeteners, flavourings (fresh mint), 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 packaging or official leaflet.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• For oral use only. Chew the gum slowly according to the “chew and park” method: chew until the taste becomes strong, then park the gum between the cheek and gum to allow nicotine absorption through the oral mucosa. Repeat this cycle for about 30 minutes per piece.
• Recommended dosing for heavy smokers (usually >20 cigarettes/day) is typically 4 mg gum. Use 1 piece whenever you feel a strong urge to smoke, usually 8–12 pieces per day, not exceeding the maximum daily number stated in the package leaflet (commonly up to 15–24 pieces per day depending on local product guidance). Always follow the instructions on the specific pack or your doctor’s advice.
• Initial treatment period usually lasts up to 12 weeks. Gradually reduce the number of gums per day as cravings decrease, aiming to stop using the gum completely once smoking cessation is stable.
• Do not eat or drink while chewing the gum, and avoid acidic drinks (such as coffee, soft drinks, or fruit juices) 15 minutes before and during use, as they may reduce nicotine absorption.
• Not recommended for children or adolescents unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional. Intended for adult use only.
• Use as part of a comprehensive smoking cessation plan that may include counselling, behavioural support, and lifestyle changes for best results.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stop smoking or cut down gradually.
• Provides a controlled dose of nicotine without exposure to harmful substances found in cigarette smoke such as tar, carbon monoxide, and many toxic chemicals.
• Supports long-term smoking cessation when combined with behavioural support, helping to improve cardiovascular and respiratory health over time.
• Offers a discreet, portable, and sugar-free option for managing urges to smoke, especially in smoke-free environments or during stressful situations.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are a non-smoker or an occasional smoker, as unnecessary nicotine exposure may cause adverse effects.
• Contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to nicotine or any component of the gum.
• Use with caution and only under medical supervision if you have cardiovascular disease (such as recent heart attack, stroke, unstable angina, severe arrhythmias, or uncontrolled hypertension), peripheral vascular disease, or other serious heart conditions.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have diabetes, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, severe kidney or liver impairment, active or recent peptic ulcer disease, or oesophagitis, as nicotine may worsen these conditions.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use nicotine replacement therapy after medical advice. Stopping smoking without medication is preferred if possible. If NRT is needed, it should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration.
• Not intended for use in children and adolescents unless specifically recommended by a healthcare professional.
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended daily dose stated on the package leaflet. Excessive nicotine intake can lead to overdose symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, and palpitations.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions (including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, stomach ulcers, or kidney/liver disease).
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion by children can cause severe nicotine poisoning and may be life-threatening.
• Smokers who continue to use tobacco while using nicotine gum may increase their total nicotine exposure; this should be avoided and monitored by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include mouth or throat irritation, hiccups, jaw discomfort, increased salivation, nausea, indigestion, stomach discomfort, and headache. These are often mild and tend to decrease with continued use and correct chewing technique.
• Less common side effects can include dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, nervousness, or changes in taste.
• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing are rare but require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of the product.
• Stop use and seek medical advice if you experience severe or persistent side effects, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, severe indigestion, or any symptoms of nicotine overdose (such as severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, or confusion).
