NEw galPhaRm NIcOtINE REPlacE gUm – ‘helping smokers spend less to quit’
New Nicotine Replace gum is the latest addition to the galpharm nicotine replacement range, which now offers both nicotine replacement gum and lozenges that are as effective as leading brands at affordable prices. Each galpharm Nicotine Replace medicated chewing gum is available in two strengths, containing 2mg or 4mg of nicotine in a cooling and fresh tasting sugar free peppermint flavoured gum. galpharm Nicotine Replace 2mg gum is suitable for smokers who smoke less than 20 cigarettes per day, and galpharm Nicotine Replace 4mg gum is suitable for smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes per day.
Each gum is designed to be chewed slowly and with regular pauses to allow the nicotine to be absorbed through the lining of the mouth. It is recommended that one piece of medicated chewing gum should be chewed for about 30 minutes with regular pauses so the nicotine is not released too quickly, then disposed of carefully.
galpharm Nicotine Replace gum is easy, discreet and convenient to use. the gum helps relieve some of the cravings and unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, such as feeling ill or irritable, that smokers frequently feel when they try to give up. Nicotine Replace gum is suitable for smokers trying to give up completely, for those cutting down and for those who are unable to smoke for example in confined spaces (in the car or in the house), where others (such as children) could be harmed by tobacco smoke or in places where smoking is prohibited.
Smokers are more likely to give up smoking when using galpharm Nicotine Replace gum with help from a pharmacist, doctor, trained counsellor, or a support programme.
Ruth giles, galpharm Brand marketing manager commented: ‘Nicotine Replacement therapy (NRt) can help to overcome addiction to nicotine and using an NRt gum is one of the most popular methods to help smoking cessation. galpharm Nicotine Replace helps stop or reduce the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal which can help smokers to quit. Both the gum and lozenges contain the same active ingredients as branded alternatives but at an affordable price, meaning that smokers can spend less to kick the habit.’
