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

To effectively use Nicotex 2 mg ultra-mint gum, you must use the "chew and park" method. Chew it slowly until you feel a peppery taste, then "park" it between your cheek and gum for absorption. Once the taste fades, chew again. Do not chew it continuously like regular gum, as swallowing the nicotine can cause hiccups or stomach upset.

No, the 2 mg strength is designed for light to moderate smokers (those who smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes a day). If you smoke 20 or more cigarettes daily, or if you smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up, a 4 mg nicotine gum is generally recommended for effective tobacco cessation.

Swallowing a single piece of nicotine gum is unlikely to cause serious harm, as the nicotine is poorly absorbed in the stomach. You may experience mild stomach upset or hiccups. However, if multiple pieces are swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Do not eat or drink while the gum is in your mouth. Additionally, avoid acidic beverages (like coffee, soft drinks, or citrus juices) for 15 minutes prior to using the gum, as an acidic environment in the mouth prevents the nicotine from absorbing correctly.

When used correctly, side effects are minimal. The most common minor side effects include a tingling sensation in the mouth, mild hiccups, sore throat, or jaw ache (usually from incorrect, overly vigorous chewing). If you experience severe dizziness or palpitations, stop use and consult a doctor.
