Niquitin Mint 4,0mg Gomme A Macher 100

Tobacco dependence

• Treatment of tobacco dependence by relieving nicotine withdrawal symptoms, in particular the desire to smoke during an attempt to stop smoking.
• • The ultimate goal is to stop smoking altogether.
  • Preferably used in conjunction with a behavioural support programme.
• 4 mg chewing gum is suitable for smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day.

Adults

• For cravings: 1 chewing gum.
• Generally: 8 to 12 gums a day.
• Max: 15 gums a day.
• Duration of treatment:
• • Depends on the needs of each smoker, 2 to 3 months on average.
  • Then gradually reduce gum consumption and stop when the daily intake is no more than 1 or 2 gums.
  • Keep any remaining gum, as cravings may return suddenly.

  Children aged 12 to 17

  • Only on the advice of a doctor.

  Method of administration

  • Apply the 'chew and relax' technique:
  • Chew slowly until the taste becomes strong (about 1 minute).
  • Then stop and let the gum rest against your cheek.
  • When the taste fades, chew a few times until it becomes strong again, then let the gum rest again.
  • After 30 minutes of use, the contents of the gum are used up.
• Influence of food and drink:
• • 15 minutes before taking a chewing gum: avoid consuming drinks that lower the pH in the mouth (coffee, fruit juice or soft drinks) as they can reduce the absorption of nicotine from the oral cavity.
  • Users should not eat or drink while chewing gum.
