Uses / Indications:
Nicotex Plus 4mg Chewing Gum is used for:
Helping those who smoke to quit smoking slowly
Lessening withdrawal symptoms from nicotine, like cravings, irritability, and restlessness
Helping people stay smoke-free for a long time
Good for people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day (take the 2mg gum for people who smoke less).
Pregnancy interaction:
Nicotex Plus 4mg Chewing Gum has Nicotine Polacrilex in it, which helps people who are attempting to stop smoking feel less like smoking and less bad when they do.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is thought to be safer than smoking while pregnant, but you should only use it under the care of a doctor.
If you use nicotine too much, it can damage how the fetus grows. The gum should only be used when other non-drug methods, such counseling, have failed.
Before taking Nicotex Plus, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Warning for breastfeeding:
Nicotine gets into breast milk.
If you need to, use the gum shortly after breastfeeding and wait a few hours before feeding again.
Expert advice:
Choose the right strength: 2mg for light smokers (less than 20 cigarettes a day) and 4mg for heavy smokers (more than 20 cigarettes a day).
For the best nicotine absorption, use the chew-and-park method appropriately.
Over the course of 8 to 12 weeks, slowly cut back on the amount of gums.
Do not take other nicotine products at the same time unless told to.
For maximum outcomes, use Nicotex therapy along with behavioral assistance or counseling.
Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from kids in a cool, dry location.
Side Effects:
Irritation in the mouth or throat
Hiccups
Stomach discomfort or nausea
Pain in the head
A dry mouth or more saliva
Less common yet dangerous adverse effects:
Heartbeats that aren't regular or palpitations
Pain in the chest
Very bad dizziness
Reactions to allergies (rash, edema, trouble breathing)
If you have severe or long-lasting adverse effects, get medical help right once.
How to use:
Take one piece of gum and chew it gently until you taste it strongly.
Then put the gum between your cheek and gum to let the nicotine soak in.
When the taste goes away, chew again and park.
For about 30 minutes, keep chewing and parking, then throw away the gum.
How to Take Your Medicine:
At first, chew one piece of gum every 1–2 hours, and then slowly cut back as your cravings go away.
Don't chew more than 24 gums a day.
Don't eat or drink anything (particularly coffee, soda, or acidic drinks) 15 minutes before or during use, as these make it harder for nicotine to get into your body.
Important:
Chew carefully; chewing too quickly can make you feel sick, give you hiccups, or make your throat hurt.
How it works:
Nicotex Plus 4 mg Chewing gum is a way to manage how much nicotine you get:
Contains Nicotine Polacrilex, which gives you a little, constant amount of nicotine to help with withdrawal symptoms.
Helps with cravings, irritation, restlessness, and anxiety that come from quitting smoking.
When you chew gum properly, nicotine slowly gets into your body through the lining of your mouth.
Helps people slowly stop needing nicotine and supports quitting smoking
