What is the usual dose of Nicorette Freshmint?+
The prescribed dose and schedule are determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s smoking habits, nicotine dependence level, and medical history. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Nicorette Freshmint safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+

Store at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging. Protect the gum from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain product stability.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, as well as cardiovascular events like chest pain or irregular heartbeat. Users should seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms occur.
