Typical dosage for Nicorette

A healthcare professional on your smoking cessation team will determine your starting dose of Nicorette. The typical starting dose is 2 mg or 4 mg, depending on whether you smoke your first cigarette within 30 minutes of waking up or after.

Nicorette (nicotine) gum is chewed slowly until you feel a tingling sensation, then parked between your cheek and gum. Nicorette (nicotine) lozenge is sucked on like hard candy until it's completely dissolved.

  • Weeks 0 to 6: Use 1 piece every 1 to 2 hours to help with nicotine cravings.
  • Weeks 7 to 9: Use 1 piece every 2 to 4 hours to help with nicotine cravings.
  • Weeks 10 to 12: Use 1 piece every 4 to 8 hours to help with nicotine cravings.

Don't use more than 24 pieces of gum or 20 lozenges per day.
