Dosage and application

The strength of the gum should be chosen based on your nicotine dependence.If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day or if you have previously had no success with Nicotin Beta Mint 2 mg, you should choose the 4 mg variant.In other cases 2 mg is sufficient.

Nicotin Beta Mint chewing gum should be used if you would normally smoke cigarettes or if you feel the urge to smoke.At the start of treatment, 1 chewing gum can be used every 1 to 2 hours.The dosage is individual and depends on your nicotine dependence.In most cases, 8 to 12 pieces of chewing gum per day are sufficient.

The maximum daily dose for Nicotin Beta Mint 2 mg is 24 chewing gums per day, corresponding to 48 mg nicotine/day, and for Nicotin Beta Mint 4 mg, 16 chewing gums per day, corresponding to 64 mg nicotine/day.

The treatment time depends on the individual and should normally last at least 3 months.The nicotine dose is then gradually reduced.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.

Proper chewing technique is important.Chew Nicotin Beta Mint slowly, with breaks, otherwise you risk getting heartburn and hiccups.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 the chewing process for about 30 minutes.

The nicotine effects only appear after a few minutes.The same quick relief as smoking cannot therefore be expected.
