Description
NICORETTE® Gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It is used to relieve and/or prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings you get when you try to stop smoking, or when cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke.
NICORETTE® Gum can also be used when you are pregnant or breastfeeding to help you stop smoking, as the risks to your baby are far less than if you continue to smoke. Ideally, you should always aim to stop smoking.
You can use NICORETTE® Gum to achieve this by using it to completely replace all your cigarettes. However, NICORETTE® Gum can also be used in other ways.
