How do I use Nicotex?
Nicotine gums are medicinal gums and are not to be used the way most chewing gums are. The objective is to slowly release nicotine from the gum.
Note
Do not eat or drink or use removable dentures with the nicotine gum in the mouth. Avoid having any food or drinks for 15 minutes before the nicotine gum is used. The side effects that might be seen with Nicotex will be the same as nicotine given by any other route. Side effects are usually dose-dependent and may not be experienced by all. Common side effects such as headache, nausea, hiccups, stomach discomfort, sore mouth or throat, jaw muscle ache and sleep disturbance may be seen particularly during the first few weeks.
