Product information "Nicorette® Classic 4 mg - chewing gum for smoking cessation"

Beipackzettel ansehen

Nicorette® 4mg Chewing Gum Classic belongs to a group of medicines used for smoking cessation. Nicorette contains the active ingredient nicotine, which enters the body via the oral mucosa.

The intake of nicotine by means of Nicorette ensures that the withdrawal symptoms caused by nicotine withdrawal do not occur or at least occur in a significantly weakened form, thus reducing the patient's desire to smoke. These withdrawal symptoms primarily include irritability, restlessness, anxiety, increased appetite, concentration and sleep disorders, which in many cases cause the patient to take up smoking again. Nicorette serves as an aid and facilitates cessation even in difficult cases, whereby appropriate motivation, willpower and perseverance are necessary prerequisites for any cessation programme.

If you want to stop smoking or reduce your cigarette consumption, Nicorette will support you and can therefore be used:

  • as a smoking cessation aid for smokers who want to give up smoking
  • as an aid for smokers during certain periods when cigarette consumption is not possible or not desired (temporary abstinence)
  • to reduce cigarette consumption for smokers who do not want to or cannot give up smoking.
The success rate can be improved by additional counselling and supportive measures. If you smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day, Nicorette 2 mg chewing gum is suitable. If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, Nicorette 4 mg chewing gum is more favourable.

NICORETTE® chewing gum delivers nicotine quickly and individually, so that withdrawal symptoms are noticeably alleviated and the cessation process is made easier. NICORETTE® chewing gum is suitable for both immediate and gradual smoking cessation.

Advantages

  • Actively combat withdrawal symptoms with NICORETTE® chewing gum
  • Withdrawal symptoms are noticeably alleviated
  • For quitting smoking immediately or for smoking reduction
  • Also suitable for temporary abstinence (temporary abstinence)

Mode of action

NICORETTE® chewing gums release nicotine when chewed, which is absorbed through the oral mucosa. Of the total amount of nicotine in the chewing gum, around 50 % is absorbed by the body. Accordingly, the user absorbs about 1 mg of nicotine from a 2 mg chewing gum and about 2 mg from a 4 mg chewing gum. The nicotine levels in the blood when chewing a 2 mg chewing gum reach about 1/3 and when chewing a 4 mg chewing gum about 2/3 of the levels that would be achieved when smoking cigarettes.

How to use
NICORETTE® chewing gum has the unique flavour indicator NDI (Nicotine Dosage Indicator), which makes it easier for you to use it correctly. Chew very slowly for about 1 minute until you feel a spicy/peppery flavour. Then place the gum between your teeth and cheek until the flavour subsides. Repeat these two steps for 30 minutes. Do not chew too hard! *This is followed by half an hour without chewing gum. The instructions for use, doctor or pharmacist will inform you about the effect and possible undesirable effects.

Dosage for immediate smoking cessation
The 2mg nicotine gum is suitable for smokers who smoke up to 20 cigarettes a day. If your consumption is more than 20 cigarettes, then you should take the 4mg nicotine gum.

  • Step 1: Week 1-6 - Approximately 1 NICORETTE® gum per hour. Ideally, you should take 8-12 pieces of nicotine gum per day, with a maximum of 24 pieces per day.
  • Step 2: Week 7-12 - For the following 6 weeks, reduce the number of chewing gums to 0.

Use should last at least 4-6 weeks. Subsequently, the number of chewing gums should be reduced until the 12th week. Therapy lasting longer than 6 months is not recommended. Relapses can occur even after six months. Here it is advisable to have a chewing gum to hand.
