Overview
Kirkland Signature Original Flavor Uncoated Nicotine Polacrilex Gum is part of a Nicotine Replacement Therapy. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is designed to wean your body off cigarettes. It helps regulate, control and gradually reduce your body's cravings for nicotine.
Smoking is addictive in two ways. Your need for nicotine is both physical and mental. You must overcome both addictions to stop smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) only deals with the physical dependence. It is not meant to be the only thing you use to help you quit smoking. You will need other methods that help the psychological (emotional and mental) part of smoking, such as a stop smoking program.
Getting Started
The most important step to becoming a nonsmoker is the first one and you can start today! First, purchase the right product dose. If you smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up, use NICOTINE POLACRILEX GUM 4 mg. If you smoke your first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking up, use NICOTINE POLACRILEX GUM 2 mg.
How Nicotine Polacrilex Gum Works
Nicotine Polacrilex Gum chewing pieces provide nicotine to your system - they work as a temporary aid to help you quit smoking by reducing nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine Polacrilex Gum provides a lower level of nicotine to your blood than cigarettes, and allows you to gradually do away with your body’s need for nicotine. Because Nicotine Polacrilex Gum does not contain the tar or carbon monoxide of cigarette smoke, it does not have the same health dangers as tobacco. However, it still delivers nicotine, the addictive part of the cigarette smoke. Nicotine can cause side effects such as headache, nausea, upset stomach, and dizziness.

How To Use Nicotine Polacrilex Gum
If you are under 18 years of age, ask a doctor before use. Before you can use Nicotine Polacrilex gum correctly, you have to practice! Nicotine Polacrilex Gum isn’t like ordinary chewing gum. It’s a medicine, and must be chewed a certain way to work right. Chewed like ordinary gum, Nicotine Polacrilex Gum won’t work well and can cause side effects. An overdose can occur if you chew more than one piece of Nicotine Polacrilex Gum at the same time, or if you chew many pieces one after another. Read all instructions prior to using Nicotine Polacrilex gum.
• Begin using the Nicotine Polacrilex Gum on your quit day. To reduce craving and other withdrawal symptoms, use Nicotine Polacrilex Gum according to the dosage schedule provided in the leaflet.
• Chew each Nicotine Polacrilex Gum piece very slowly several times. Stop chewing when you notice a peppery taste, or a slight tingling in your mouth. (This usually happens after about 15 chews, but may vary from person to person.)
• "PARK" the Nicotine Polacrilex Gum piece between your cheek and gum, and leave it there. When the peppery taste or tingle is almost gone (in about a minute), start to chew a few times slowly again. When the taste or tingle returns, stop again. Park the Nicotine Polacrilex Gum piece again (in a different place in your mouth).
• Repeat steps 3 to 7 (chew, chew, park) until most of the nicotine is gone from the Nicotine Polacrilex Gum piece (usually happens in about half an hour; the peppery taste or tingle won't return.)
•Wrap the used Nicotine Polacrilex Gum piece in paper and throw away in the trash.
How To Reduce Your
Nicotine Polacrilex Gum Usage
The goal of using Nicotine Polacrilex Gum is to slowly reduce your dependence on nicotine. The schedule for using Nicotine Polacrilex gum will help you reduce your nicotine cravings gradually as you reduce and then stop your use of Nicotine Polacrilex Gum. Here are some tips to help you cut back during each step and then stop using Nicotine Polacrilex Gum:
• After a while, start chewing each NICOTINE POLACRILEX GUM piece for only 10 to 15 minutes, instead of half an hour. Then gradually begin to reduce the number of pieces used. Or, try chewing each piece for longer than half an hour but reduce the number of pieces you use each day.
• Substitute ordinary chewing gum for some of the NICOTINE POLACRILEX GUM pieces you would normally use. Increase the number of pieces of ordinary gum as you cut back on the NICOTINE POLACRILEX GUM pieces.
• Check how well you’ve reduced your daily usage of NICOTINE POLACRILEX GUM in weeks 10 to 12. You should only be using about 3 to 5 pieces a day. Get ready to stop.
“As a Costco pharmacist, patients will sometimes come to me and ask for my advice on quitting and various medications they can use. I first tell them my own story, and I ask about their unique situation: How long have they smoked? How much? And, are they ready to quit? I do help them understand there are therapies, both prescription and over-the-counter, that can help ease the cravings and improve a person’s chances of quitting.
Quitting is hard. Don’t be afraid to ask your pharmacist for help. You never know: you might just be talking to a former smoker who can share some professional – and personal – advice.”
