Nicotine Gum Dosage and Administration

Under 18 years of age, the relative risks and benefits of pharmacotherapy need to be considered for the use of Nicotine gum. No randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of NRT in young smokers have been published until date. Stop smoking completely when you begin using the gum.

How to Use Nicotine (Nicorette) Gum

If smoking 25 or more cigarettes a day, use 4 mg nicotine gum.
If smoking less than 25 cigarettes a day, use 2 mg nicotine gum.
Use according to the following 12-week schedule:

Weeks 1-6	Weeks 7-9	Weeks 10-12
One piece of Nicotine gum every 1-2 hours	One piece of Nicotine gum every 2-4 hours	One piece of Nicotine gum every 4-8 hours

Remember: Do not use more than 24 pieces of Nicotine gum a day.

Steps to follow for maximum benefit:

1. Chew each gum piece very slowly several times.
2. Stop chewing when you get a peppery taste or a slight tingling in the mouth. This usually happens after about 1 minute or 15 chews, but may vary from person to person.
3. Shift the chewing gum to one corner or side of your mouth, and leave it there.
4. When the peppery taste or tingle is almost gone (in about a minute), again start chewing the gum piece slowly. Stop when the taste or tingle returns.
5. Shift the gum to a different place in your mouth every time.
6. Repeat steps 4 to 7 until most of the nicotine is gone from the NICOTEX/NICOGUM Chewing Gum (usually happens in about 30 mins; the peppery taste or tingle will not return).
7. Wrap the used gum in paper and throw it away in the dustbin.
8. To improve the chances of quitting, use at least nine pieces of NICOTEX/NICOGUM Chewing Gum a day. If strong or frequent cravings are experienced, a second piece can be used within the hour. However, continuous use of one gum piece after another is not recommended, since this may cause hiccups, heartburn, nausea, or other side effects.
9. It is important to complete the NICOTEX/NICOGUM quit programme at the end of 12 weeks, and to stop using NICOTEX/NICOGUM Chewing Gum at that time.
