Composition
Nicogum Fresh Mint 4mg Sugar Free Gum 12 is used as part of nicotine replacement therapy to help individuals quit smoking. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing nicotine, and belongs to the class of smoking cessation medicines.
This medicine releases a controlled dose of nicotine into the mouth when chewed, which helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability and restlessness, without exposure to the harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke. Use the chew-and-park method: chew slowly until you feel a tingling sensation, then place the gum between your cheek and gum, repeating this process for around 30 minutes as directed by your doctor.
Setting a quit date and following a structured plan to gradually reduce your nicotine use can improve your chances of successfully quitting smoking alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any heart problems, stomach ulcers, or other medicines you are taking, before starting this medicine. Do not chew more than one piece of gum at a time. Report any persistent mouth or throat irritation, palpitations or indigestion to your doctor. Do not stop using this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
