Nicotrol Gum

Want to stop smoking? Use Nicotrol gum

Nicotrol gum is a form of NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy), which uses a range of delivery methods to replace the nicotine obtained from smoking.

Nicotrol gum provides your body with the amount of nicotine it needs, to cope with withdrawal symptoms & cravings and gradually helps you break your smoking habit.

Directions:

• Nicotrol Gum is available in 2mg and 4mg strengths. Use the 4mg strength gum, if you're used to smoking 20 cigarettes or more in a day, or if you have not been able to quit smoking with the 2mg strength. Otherwise, use the 2mg strength nicotrol gum.
• Chew a piece of Nicotrol when you feel like smoking. About 8-12 pieces per day, of either the 2mg or 4mg strength, should be enough.
• Do not use more than 24 pieces per day.

Heavy smokers: Use a combination of Nicotrol Patches & Gum

Normally Nicotrol Patch or Gum alone would provide enough nicotine to help most people control their craving for cigarettes. However, some people may find that even though they are using a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) they still have intense or frequent cravings they find difficult to cope with. If you are one of these people you may benefit from combining Nicotrol Patch use with Nicotrol Gum.

• Each morning apply a Nicotrol 15mg/16 hour Patch to an intact area of skin. The Nicotrol Patch should be removed before going to bed. After applying the Nicotrol Patch use Nicotrol 2mg Gum whenever a craving occurs.
• For best results try to chew at least 4 pieces of Nicotrol Gum every day. Most people will use 8-12 pieces. Do not use more than 24 pieces of gum.

The combination of Nicotrol Patch and Nicotrol Gum should be used for 6-12 weeks. After this time, if required you can gradually stop using NRT products (as described below):

1. Use the Nicotrol 10mg/16 hour patch for 3-6 weeks and then use the Nicotrol 5mg/16 hour patch for 3-6 weeks while using the same number of pieces of Nicotrol Gum in a day that you have routinely used. Then when a patch is no longer needed, gradually reduce the number of pieces of gum until you no longer need them. OR
2. Stop use of the Nicotrol 15mg/16 hour Patch and then gradually reduce the number of pieces of Nicotrol 2mg Gum that are used until you no longer need them.
