Mode of application

:

Depending on the severity of the addiction to smoking, Nicorette chewing gum is used with different concentrations of the active substance. If the patient smokes 20 or fewer cigarettes per day or smokes the first cigarette 30 minutes after waking up, then chewing gum with a nicotine content of 2 mg should be used. If the patient smokes more than 20 cigarettes per day or has not been able to quit smoking while using chewing gum with 2 mg nicotine, then it is recommended to use chewing gum with 4 mg nicotine. Nicorette should be used in all cases when there is an irresistible urge to smoke. The gum should be chewed slowly until a strong taste develops, then the chewing should be stopped and the gum should be placed between the gum and the inside of the cheek. After the taste disappears, chewing should be resumed.Only 1 chewing gum should be used at a time. With a complete cessation of smoking, the average daily dose is 8-12 gum, the maximum - 15 gum. It is necessary to use the drug continuously for the first 3 months after quitting smoking. Then you should gradually reduce the amount of consumed gums. When the daily consumption of the drug decreases to 1-2 gum, its use should be discontinued. When reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke, chewing gum should be used between smoking episodes to lengthen the intervals between smoking cigarettes in order to minimize cigarette consumption. The patient should be warned that if, after 6 weeks of using the drug, it was not possible to reduce the daily consumption of cigarettes, it should be consulted with a specialist doctor. The patient should try to quit smoking,when he is ready for this, but no later than 6 months after the start of treatment. If within 9 months after the start of therapy it was not possible to quit smoking, you should seek the advice of a specialist. It is not recommended to use Nicorette chewing gum for more than 12 months. However, some patients may need longer treatment to prevent a return to smoking or return to their previous tobacco use. Chewing gum can be used when you need to temporarily quit smoking, such as when you are in a non-smoking area or in other situations where you need to quit smoking.
