How to use Nicorette Gum

Nicorette is the top name in nicotine polacrilex gum used in nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). Why is it in gum form? Because each piece contains nicotine that is absorbed through the lining of the mouth and this is only released when the piece of gum is chewed. Nicorette gum is a nicotine-resin complex which, once you chew it, allows your saliva to enter the gum and become exchanged with the nicotine. You do not chew it incessantly like chewing gum. The taste of the gum will become more intense after it is chewed to let you know that the nicotine has been released. A peppery taste or tingling sensation may accompany this.

The beauty of Nicorette gum as a type of NRT is its flexibility and convenience. It is inconspicuous too because no one will know that it is not normal gum. Whenever you feel you need help with the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, you take a piece of gum. Nicorette gum means that you can control the dosage of nicotine that you receive. It also provides quick relief because the nicotine enters the blood stream faster than it would with an NRT patch.
