Directions for Use & Chewing Technique for Nicotinell 2 mg Sugar-Free Fruit Flavor 96 Chewing Gums

For optimal effectiveness and to avoid digestive discomfort (hiccups, stomachaches), it is essential to use the slow-chewing technique:

1. Chew one piece of gum slowly until the taste becomes strong or spicy (indicating nicotine release).
2. Then place the gum between your cheek and gum for about 1 minute to promote nicotine absorption through the oral mucosa.
3. Resume chewing slowly as soon as the taste fades, then take another break by holding the gum on the side of your mouth.
4. Repeat this process for about 30 minutes (the time it takes for the gum to dissolve).

Recommended dosage:

• Start of treatment: 1 piece of gum as soon as the urge to smoke arises. On average, 8 to 12 pieces of gum per day (do not exceed 25 pieces of 2-mg gum per day).
• Duration of treatment: generally 3 months to quit completely, with a gradual reduction in the number of pieces of gum per day until you quit entirely.

Composition

For one piece of medicated chewing gum:

• Active ingredient: Nicotine (2 mg), in the form of nicotine resin (10 mg).
• Excipients with known effects: Sorbitol (E420), xylitol, mannitol (E421), liquid maltitol, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, fruit flavoring (containing soy and citrus derivatives), butylhydroxytoluene (E321).
• Formula: Sugar-free.

Precautions and Warnings

• Over-the-counter medication: Read the package insert carefully before use.
• Dental appliances: Due to its chewable texture, the gum may stick to dental appliances and dentures.
• Contraindications: Do not use if you are a non-smoker or occasional smoker, or if you have a known hypersensitivity to soy or any of the ingredients.
• Cardiovascular conditions: Medical advice or consultation with your pharmacist is recommended in cases of recent myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, or severe hypertension.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Quitting smoking without a substitute is preferred, but the gum may be considered under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
• Keep out of reach of children.

What is the difference between Nicotinell 2 mg and 4 mg gum?

The 2 mg nicotine gum is intended for smokers with mild to moderate dependence (fewer than 20 cigarettes per day). The 4 mg strength is reserved for smokers with a strong or very strong dependence (more than 20 cigarettes per day) or who have not succeeded with the 2 mg strength.

Why do you need to chew Nicotinell gum very slowly?

If you chew the gum too quickly, like regular chewing gum, the nicotine is released too rapidly and swallowed with saliva instead of being absorbed by the mucous membranes in your mouth. This can cause stomach upset, heartburn, or hiccups, while also reducing the treatment’s effectiveness.

Can Nicotinell 2 mg gum be used in combination with a nicotine patch?

Yes. Combining a transdermal patch (which continuously releases nicotine over 24 hours) with 2 mg gum (taken as needed during strong cravings) is a recognized strategy for heavily dependent smokers. Ask your pharmacist for advice on determining the appropriate dosing regimen.
