Nicotrol Gum is a rebranded form of Nicorette Gum. What does that mean? This means that it is the same gum as Nicorette, manufactured by the same company, but under a different brand and costing so much less than Nicorette.

Nicotrol is intended to help you, the smoker, give up smoking. It helps you to concentrate on breaking the habit of smoking, by reducing the unpleasant nicotine withdrawal effects you would normally experience when you stop smoking. It does not give as much satisfaction as a cigarette, and therefore, once you have overcome the smoking habit, it is not as difficult to give up Nicotrol.

Nicotrol Gum offers a great degree of flexibility to your NRT stop smoking programme. You can take a piece of gum whenever you most need it to alleviate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. The chew and 'park' technique ensures that the nicotine in the gum is quickly transferred into your system. When you use Nicotrol Gum other people probably will not even know that you are not chewing standard gum.

Dosage & Administration
Nicotrol Gum 2mg is recommended for those who smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day. The 4mg extra strength gum is recommended for those who smoke more that 20 cigarettes a day.

The strength of the chewing piece you should use depends on your own individual needs. It is however recommended that you begin treatment with the 2mg strength. If you find yourself using more than 15 pieces of the 2mg strength each day, you may wish to transfer to the 4mg strength. It is recommended that Nicorette is used for a period of three months before this gradual reduction is started. It is during this three-month period that the risk of failure is greatest.
