Application and dosage

Choosing the strength of the gum depends on your nicotine addiction.If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day or have previously had no success with the 2 mg variant, you should choose the 4 mg variant.Otherwise the 2 mg variant is suitable.The gums should be used when you would normally smoke cigarettes or when you have a craving to smoke.At the start of treatment, chewing gum can be used every 1 to 2 hours.The daily dosage depends on your nicotine dependence and in most cases is 8 to 12 chewing gums.

The duration of treatment should be at least 3 months, followed by a gradual reduction in the dose of nicotine.Treatment should be stopped when the dose has been reduced to 1 to 2 chewing gums per day.Regular use for more than 6 months is usually not recommended.

Chewing technique

Proper chewing technique is important to avoid heartburn and hiccups.Chew the gum slowly and with breaks.Chew until the taste becomes strong or there is a slight burning sensation, then stop chewing.Let the gum rest between your cheek and gums until the taste and burning sensation stops.Then continue chewing slowly until the taste becomes strong again or you feel a slight burning sensation.Repeat this process for about 30 minutes.The effects of nicotine take a few minutes to appear, so the same quick relief as smoking cannot be expected.

Contraindications and precautions

If you are known to be hypersensitive to any of the ingredients, this product should not be used.It is important to speak to a doctor or pharmacist if you have certain health conditions, such as heart problems, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, diabetes, epilepsy, overactive thyroid, adrenal tumors, stomach ulcers, or inflammation of the esophagus.However, the risk of continued smoking always poses a greater danger than using this medicine.
