Frequently asked questions

What is Nicorette Freshmint Gum used for?+
Nicorette Freshmint Gum is used as a nicotine replacement therapy to help adult smokers quit by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping tobacco use.
How does nicotine work in Nicorette Freshmint Gum?+
The nicotine in the gum binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, especially the α4β2 subtype, stimulating dopamine release. This modest stimulation eases withdrawal and lessens the urge to smoke while the user gradually reduces nicotine intake.
What determines the usual dose of Nicorette Freshmint Gum?+
The appropriate chewing frequency and duration are set by a qualified prescriber based on the individual’s smoking history, level of dependence, and any medical considerations. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Nicorette Freshmint Gum safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their obstetrician or another qualified health professional before using the product.

How does Nicorette Freshmint Gum compare with other smoking cessation options?+

How should Nicorette Freshmint Gum be stored and handled?+
Store the gum at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the packaging remains sealed until use to maintain product integrity.
How is Nicorette Freshmint Gum administered?+

What are the most serious risks associated with Nicorette Freshmint Gum?+
Serious risks include cardiovascular events such as chest pain, severe allergic reactions that may cause rash, swelling or breathing difficulty, and persistent oral ulceration. Any of these symptoms should prompt immediate medical evaluation.
