INDICATIONS 
Nicorette Fruitfusion 6mg Gum relieves and/or prevents craving and
nicotine 
withdrawal symptoms associated with tobacco dependence in
highly dependent 
smokers (> 20 cigarettes per day). It is indicated to aid smokers
wishing to quit or

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 
Highly dependent smokers (> 20 cigarettes per day),
adults and children over 12 years 
of age. 

Nicorette Fruitfusion 6mg Gum should be chewed
slowly according to the 
instructions. 
In general, if the patient smokes 20 or fewer cigarettes a

6mg nicotine gum

individual needs:  
Treatment with Nicorette Fruitfusion 6 mg Gum for
highly dependent children and

pharmacist or nurse).
