Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Freshmint used for?+
Nicorette Freshmint is an over‑the‑counter nicotine replacement therapy designed to help adult smokers quit. It delivers nicotine through the oral mucosa, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking cessation, and can be used as part of a structured quit‑program.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette Freshmint?+
The nicotine released from the gum is absorbed through the lining of the mouth and binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. This mimics the effect of tobacco‑derived nicotine, providing a controlled stimulant effect that eases withdrawal and diminishes the urge to smoke.
What is the usual dose of Nicorette Freshmint?+
The specific dosing regimen for Nicorette Freshmint is determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and treatment goals. The prescriber will advise the number of pieces to use per day and the tapering schedule.
Is Nicorette Freshmint safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for nicotine replacement therapy during pregnancy or lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their obstetrician or healthcare provider before using Nicorette Freshmint.

How does Nicorette Freshmint compare with other nicotine replacement products?+

What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Freshmint?+
