Nicotinell Nicotine Gum, Quit Smoking Aid, Fruit Flavour, 2 mg, 204 Pieces

Product Information

Nicotinell Fruit flavoured gum provides an effective aid to combat the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms caused by giving up smoking. Nicotinell 2mg gum is particularly useful for moderate smokers experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. If you smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day, we recommend the 4mg gum. If you smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day, try the 2mg gum. We suggest you use the gum for three months, chewing up to 10 of the extra strength 4mg gums or 20 of the regular strength 2mg gums per day as and when you experience cravings. At the end of your 3-month program, reduce the amount of gum you use each day until you phase it out altogether.

Agitated children are better managed without sedation. Exclude other causes (e.g. hypoxia: infection: hypoglycaemia: raised ICP). Seek expert paediatric advice Should be used with caution in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment and/or severe renal impairment as the clearance of nicotine or its metabolites may be decreased with the potential for increased adverse effects. If there is a clinically significant increase in cardiovascular or other effects attributable to nicotine, the nicotine gum dose should be reduced or discontinued. The above recommendation can be used for adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years of age. As data are limited in this age group, medical advice should be obtained should it be found necessary to use the gum beyond 12 weeks. The use of NRT in adolescents should only be used when the benefits of abstinence outweigh the risks of continued smoking. Nicotine gum should preferably be used in conjunction with a behavioural support programme as this normally improves the success rate. To help cut down or quit smoking you should also try to use a behavioural support programme to increase your chances of success. How does Nicotinell Gum help stop smoking?If you haven’t exercised for some time, take it slowly to begin with and increase the amount of time spent exercising over the course of a few weeks.

As you chew, the gum releases nicotine to help ease your physical cravings and reduce your desire to smoke. To get maximum effectiveness from Nicotinell Gum, it's critical you follow a 'chew and park' method for at least 30 minutes. Chewing the gum for a couple of minutes only without parking it, doesn't allow the gum to help provide relief from cravings. Nicotine is excreted in breast milk. Nicotine replacement therapy should therefore be avoided during breast-feeding. Should smoking withdrawal not be achieved, oral forms of nicotine replacement therapy gum may be considered as intermittent dose forms would minimize the amount of nicotine in breast milk and permit feeding when levels were at their lowest. Giving up is more difficult for some people than others. If you fail to stop first time, don’t be disheartened. Try again at a later date – you can do it! Concomitant use of acidic beverages such as coffee or soda may decrease the buccal absorption of nicotine. Acidic beverages should be avoided for 15 minutes prior to chewing the gum.
