Table of contents:

Nicorette Coated Ice Mint Gum is designed to deliver nicotine to the body to help reduce cravings and control withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking. It comes in 2mg and 4mg dosages and has a smooth, non-chalky texture with a bold Ice Mint flavor.

Nicorette gum contains a special type of nicotine called nicotine polacrilex which is absorbed through the lining of the mouth and into the bloodstream, providing a steady stream of nicotine to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It works by gradually releasing nicotine, which is absorbed through the lining of the mouth and into the bloodstream. This helps to alleviate nicotine cravings that can occur when a person tries to quit smoking.

Use and Dosage

Nicorette Coated Ice Mint is available in the form of gum to use one every one to two hours for the first six weeks of treatment.

To use the gum properly, follow the instructions on the package. The general guidelines for using Nicorette Coated Ice Mint gum are:

  1. Chew the gum slowly until you taste the mint flavor.
  2. "Park" the gum between your cheek and gums for a few minutes until you notice a tingling sensation in your mouth. This means that nicotine is being released.
  3. Once the tingling sensation fades, chew the gum again, and repeat steps 1-2.
  4. Continue using the gum this way for about 30 minutes.
  5. Discard the gum after use and do not try to swallow it.

Do not exceed 20 pieces of Nicorette gum per day since it has a significant amount of nicotine in it. Additionally, it is worth consulting a healthcare professional to determine the right nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and dosage for your individual case.
