Nicotinell fruit flavour gum provides an effective aid to combat the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms caused by giving up smoking. Nicotinell 4mg gum is particularly useful when severe withdrawal symptoms are experienced. Are you pregnant or breast feeding? Have you ever had a serious heart disease? Have you had a stroke? Are you a diabetic? Do you have an overactive thyroid gland? Do you have persistent indigestion or severe sore throat? Have you ever had a stomach ulcer? Do you have high blood pressure, angina, or circulatory problems? Do you have any serious liver or kidney disease? Are you taking any other medicines regularly? Do you have fructose intolerance? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, do not use these gums without talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Not to be used by non-smokers or people aged under 18 years. Coffee, juices and fizzy drinks may reduce the absorption of nicotine and should not be taken for 15 minutes before chewing the gum. Sometimes there can be some minor side effects which you may have for the first few days. These include bitter taste, hiccups, sore throat, headache, feeling sick or dizzy. If you tend to get indigestion: mild indigestion or hearburn None of the above side effects are serious and if you get them, try reading the chewing instructions again to check you are not chewing the gum too fast or too often Warning: In the event of an accidental overdose, or if a child has eaten any, contact your doctor or nearest hospital casualty department and show them the packet or leaflet, if possible.
