Pregnancy: Nicotine passes to the foetus and affects its breathing movements and circulation. The effect on the circulation is dose dependent. Therefore, the pregnant smoker should always be advised to stop smoking completely without use of nicotine replacement therapy. The risk of continued smoking may pose greater hazard to the foetus as compared with the use of nicotine replacement products in a supervised smoking cessation programme. Use of Nicorette Chewing Gum by the pregnant smoker should only be initiated after advice from a health care professional.
Lactation: Women should take the product just after having breastfeeding. Nicotine passes freely into breast milk in quantities that may affect the child even with therapeutic doses. Nicorette chewing gum should therefore be avoided during breast-feeding. Should smoking cessation not be achieved, use of the Nicorette chewing gum by breast feeding smokers should only be initiated after advice from a health care professional.
