About Nicotine Gum 2 mg
Nicotine Gum 2 mg is used as an aid to quit smoking by helping manage nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It contains Nicotine Polacrilex 2 mg, which gives the body a controlled amount of nicotine without the harmful substances found in cigarette smoke.
Chewing the gum releases nicotine, which helps reduce the urge to smoke and makes it easier to gradually reduce nicotine dependence. It may be used along with counselling and other smoking-cessation measures to support quitting.
Nicotine Gum 2 mg is generally recommended for light to moderate smokers. Use it as advised by your doctor or healthcare professional. This gum is for oral use only and should be kept in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture.
