What is Nicotex?
Nicotex is a nicotine gum that helps you quit smoking using the principle of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). A 12-weeks therapy programme using Nicotex will help you get back to life without dependence on nicotine.
How does Nicotex Work?
Nicotex provides the nicotine that you normally get from cigarettes, but in a lower quantity than cigarettes. It allows your body to gradually adjust to having less nicotine until you no longer need any and thus, helps you quit smoking.
Nicotex is formulated keeping in mind the special taste requirements of the Indian palate. In order to best camouflage the strong taste of nicotine, Nicotex is also available in Classic Fresh Mint, Mint-Plus, Cinnamon and Paan flavours.
How do I Use the Gum?
Nicotine gum should not be chewed like a regular gum. It is important to chew nicotine gum slowly to get the most out of the gum. Nicotine gum should be chewed slowly until a peppery or flavored taste emerges, then parked between the cheek and gum to facilitate nicotine absorption through the inner lining of the mouth. Gum should be slowly and intermittently chewed and parked for about 30 minutes or until the taste dissipates.
How to Chew Nicotex Gum?
The method of chewing the gum is not the same as that of an ordinary chewing gum. Use the following steps to ensure maximum benefit from the gum.
Step 1:
Chew it slowly till you get the taste of nicotine.
Step 2:
Place and rest between cheek and gums.
Step 3:
When the taste fades, repeat step 1.
How Many Gums should I Use?
Individuals smoking 20 or less cigarettes a day should use the 2mg Nicotex Gum.
Use according to the following 12-weeks schedule. Please refer to the pack insert before usage.
