Nicorette Ice mint 4mg 30 chewing gums

Therapeutic Indications

Nicorette Ice Mint 4 mg gum is indicated to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms in people over 18 who are motivated to stop smoking.

Posology and method of administration

Mouth
Adults and the elderly:
Drastic suppression of tobacco use.

The initial dose should be individualized based on the patient's nicotine dependence. Smokers with low dependence (nicotine dependence according to Test Fagerström1 <6 or who smoke 20 cigarettes / day) should start treatment with 2 mg gum and highly dependent smokers should use the 4 mg dose.

The amount of 8-12 gum per day is usually appropriate. Do not exceed 24 gum per day.

The duration of treatment depends on the needs of each smoker, and its abrupt withdrawal is not desirable, as this may favor a return to tobacco addiction. It is preferable to reduce the dose gradually. For example: Every 4 or 5 days, decrease the daily consumption in one or two chewing gums, until it is consumed only

1 or 2 gum a day. This can be achieved in 2 or 3 months. The treatment should not be abandoned until the dose stabilizes in 1 or 2 gum per day.

Regular use of chewing gum is not recommended for more than 6 months.
If the patient has not been able to leave treatment definitively after 6 months, he should consult with his doctor. The doctor can advise depending on the situation of the patient, the use of a chewing gum punctually in case of sudden urges to smoke.
