Directions for Use

  • Start taking it from the same day you quit taking nicotine (chewing or inhaling tobacco in the form of cigarettes).
  • Gums: These gums should be chewed slowly, unlike regular gums, to get the most nicotine out of them. Chew at least after 15 minutes of eating or drinking. Try to chew until you get the peppery taste of nicotine. Then, let the gum rest for some time. When you feel that there is no taste in gum, then chew it again. You need to chew it for half an hour until the taste completely fades.
  • Lozenges: These are candy-like tablets similar to throat lozenges, especially for persons who do not prefer to chew gums. Keep the lozenge in the mouth and let it dissolve for 20-30 minutes. Do not swallow or chew lozenges. In this way, nicotine gets absorbed into the bloodstream and helps to manage nicotine craving.

FAQs

Nicogum 2mg Freshmint works through Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). It provides a small, controlled amount of nicotine to your body to satisfy cravings and relieve withdrawal symptoms, without the harmful tar, carbon monoxide, and toxins found in cigarette smoke.

The 2mg nicotine gum is clinically recommended for individuals who smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day, or those who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up. If you smoke 20+ cigarettes a day, a 4mg dose is usually recommended.

No. You must use the "Chew and Park" method. Chewing it continuously like regular gum releases the nicotine too quickly, causing you to swallow it. Swallowed nicotine is destroyed by stomach acid, rendering the gum ineffective, and may cause heartburn, hiccups, or nausea.

You can safely chew 1 piece every 1 to 2 hours during the first six weeks of quitting. However, do not exceed the maximum limit of 24 pieces of 2mg gum within a 24-hour period.

The risk of becoming addicted to NRT is very low. The nicotine in the gum is delivered much more slowly than the nicotine from a cigarette, without producing the addictive "hit" or "rush" to the brain. It is formulated for a 12-week step-down program.

Do not eat or drink while the gum is in your mouth. Furthermore, avoid acidic beverages like coffee, tea, sodas, and fruit juices for at least 15 minutes before chewing, as they lower the mouth's pH and block nicotine absorption.

Mild side effects may include a tingling sensation in the mouth, hiccups, mild sore throat, or jaw ache from chewing. Nausea or heartburn usually only occurs if the gum is chewed too quickly and the nicotine is swallowed rather than absorbed in the cheek.

No. You should completely stop smoking before starting Nicogum. Smoking while using Nicotine Replacement Therapy can lead to nicotine overdose, resulting in dizziness, nausea, and an accelerated heart rate.

Quitting smoking can sometimes lead to a slight weight gain due to a returning appetite and a slower metabolism. However, nicotine gum helps delay and minimise this weight gain while you are on the therapy.

A standard NRT gum program lasts for 12 weeks. You should gradually reduce the number of gums you chew each day. If you feel you need to use the gum beyond 12 weeks to prevent a relapse, consult your healthcare provider.
