Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Nicorette is a product that helps people stop smoking and is typically purchased as a gum. It gives you a small, controlled amount of nicotine, which is the addictive part of cigarettes, but without all the other harmful chemicals found in tobacco. By using Nicorette, you can reduce your cravings for cigarettes and make it easier to handle withdrawal symptoms when you quit smoking. The nicotine from Nicorette is absorbed through the lining of your mouth, which helps satisfy the urge to smoke. Nicorette is meant for adults who want to quit smoking.

Before using Nicorette gum, read the enclosed User’s Guide for complete directions and important information. Start using the gum on your quit day. Choose 4 mg if you smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking, or 2 mg if you wait longer.
Follow this 12-week schedule:
Weeks 1–6: 1 piece every 1–2 hours
Weeks 7–9: 1 piece every 2–4 hours
Weeks 10–12: 1 piece every 4–8 hours
Chew the gum slowly until it tingles, then park it between your cheek and gum. When the tingle fades, chew again and repeat until most of the tingle is gone (about 30 minutes). Avoid eating or drinking for 15 minutes before and while chewing.
Use at least 9 pieces per day for the first 6 weeks, but do not exceed 24 pieces per day. If cravings are strong, a second piece can be used within the hour, but avoid using pieces back-to-back to prevent side effects like hiccups or nausea. Complete the full treatment, and consult your healthcare provider if you feel you need to continue longer.
Nicorette products use Nicotine Polacrilex as their active ingredient.
Avoid taking or using this product if any of the following apply:
Serious heart rhythm problems
Recent heart attack (in past 2 months)
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Uncontrolled high blood pressure
Known allergy to nicotine or any ingredients in the product
Children under 18 years
Before using Nicorette, you may want to consult a healthcare provider about the following:
Any existing health conditions
Any allergies
A list of all medications you are currently taking
Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
Nicorette may raise your heart rate or blood pressure. Use caution if you have heart disease, a recent heart attack, irregular heartbeat, or high blood pressure that isn’t controlled with medication. Ask your doctor before using Nicorette if you have a stomach ulcer, diabetes, or a history of seizures.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use this medication only on your healthcare provider’s advice. Smoking can harm your child, so try to quit without nicotine replacement if possible. Although Nicorette is considered safer than smoking, the risks to your child are not fully known.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using Nicorette if you’re taking prescription medicine for depression or asthma—your dose may need to be adjusted—or using a non-nicotine stop-smoking drug.
Signs of nicotine overdose include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, weakness, or rapid heartbeat. Stop use and contact a doctor right away if these symptoms occur. Seek medical help immediately if you experience irregular heartbeat, oral blistering (with Cinnamon Surge), or symptoms of an allergic reaction like difficulty breathing or rash.
Keep Nicorette gum out of reach of children and pets. Even used pieces contain enough nicotine to make them sick. Wrap used gum in paper and throw it in the trash. In case of overdose, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.
Avoid acidic drinks such as coffee or soda just before or after chewing Nicorette gum, as these can affect how well the medication works.
Nicorette may cause side effects. Common side effects can include nausea, headache, dizziness, and irritability. Some individuals may experience issues like hiccups, a sore throat, or mouth irritation. Such effects often occur at the start of the treatment and might subside as the body adjusts.
There are potentially serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. Allergic reactions, such as skin rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, are particularly concerning. Some users might notice increased heart rate or blood pressure. Consult a healthcare provider if you experience any concerning side effects.
