1 WHAT THE MEDICINE IS FOR
NICORETTE
®
fruitfusion 6 mg gum is a nicotine
replacement therapy (NRT) for heavy smokers.
It is used to relieve and/or prevent withdrawal symptoms and
reduce the cravings for nicotine that you get when you try
to stop smoking, or when cutting down the number of
cigarettes you smoke.
NICORETTE
®
fruitfusion 6 mg gum can also be used when
you are pregnant or breast-feeding to help you stop
smoking, as the risks to your baby are far less than if you
continue to smoke.
For more information, see _’’If you are pregnant or breast-_
_feeding’’_ section.
Ideally you should always aim to stop smoking. You can use
NICORETTE
®
fruitfusion 6 mg gum to achieve this by using
it to completely replace all your cigarettes.
However NICORETTE
®
fruitfusion 6 mg gum can also be
used in other ways,
n if you feel unable to stop smoking completely, or wish to
replace certain cigarettes and therefore it can help you to
cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke,
n at those times when you can’t or do not want to smoke.
For example,
- Where you don’t want to smoke and avoid harm to others
e.g children or family.
- Smoke free areas e.g Pub, work, public transport e.g
aeroplanes.
It may also help increase your motivation to quit.
When making a quit attempt a behavioural support
programme will increase your chances of success.
The initial dosage should be individualised based on your
nicotine dependence:
n If you smoke 20 or fewer cigarettes a day, the
2 mg nicotine gum will help relieve your cravings.
n If you smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, the 4 or 6 mg
