Nicorette Gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). It is used to relieve withdrawal symptoms and reduce the cravings for nicotine that you get when you try to stop smoking, or when you are cutting down the number of cigarettes you smoke while trying to stop smoking. Nicorette Gum can also be used to relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms when you cannot smoke, e.g. in smoke free areas such as on a plane or at the cinema.
Nicorette 2mg Gum can sometimes be used in combination with Nicorette Invisi 10mg and 15mg Patch for the treatment of tobacco dependence as part of a stop smoking programme.
