Chicles para dejar de fumar Kirkland Signature 2 mg (380 unidades)

What are nicotine gums?

Nicotine gums are a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help you gradually quit smoking. They contain nicotine polacrilex, a compound that releases nicotine when chewed, allowing you to control withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. Kirkland Signature Quit Smoke Gum offers 380 gums in total (2 boxes of 190 pieces each) with a 2 mg dose per gum, ideal for smokers who consume less than 20 cigarettes a day. Its original flavor makes the experience easy, and its gum format allows for controlled nicotine release through the oral mucosa.

Benefits of quitting smoking

The main benefit of these gums is that they help you combat physical nicotine dependence while you work on the psychological aspects of smoking. By reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, or difficulty concentrating, nicotine gums increase your chances of successfully breaking the habit. In addition, chewing occupies your mouth and hands, which also helps break the automatic gesture of smoking. Compared to other methods, gums offer the advantage that you can control the dose according to your needs, making them flexible and practical.

How to use correctly

To get the best results, it is important to use nicotine gums properly. Do not chew like regular gum: chew slowly until you feel a tingling or mint/nicotine flavor, then stop and place the gum between your cheek and gum. When the sensation subsides, chew again. This process should be repeated for about 30 minutes per gum. You should not smoke while using the gum, as you could overdose on nicotine. Use at least 9 gums a day for the first 6 weeks and gradually reduce. Store the gums in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.

Recommended dosage

The 2 mg dose is suitable if you smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day. If you smoke more than 20, the 4 mg dose is recommended. You can use up to 24 2 mg gums per day. Treatment usually lasts between 8 and 12 weeks, gradually reducing the number of gums. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and to follow the instructions in the leaflet or those of your doctor. Remember that each gum should be used for about 30 minutes, and you should not use more than one gum at a time.

Possible side effects and warnings

Like any medication, nicotine gums can have side effects. The most common include headache, dizziness, nausea, jaw pain, or irritation in the mouth and throat. If you experience severe symptoms such as palpitations or difficulty breathing, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Important: Not suitable for minors under 18 years of age. Do not smoke while using this product. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or stomach ulcers. Keep the gums out of the reach of children. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical help.
