Science goes into every product we make so we can provide quality nicotine replacement therapies to help millions of Americans quit smoking.

The active ingredients in Nicorette and NicoDerm CQ are therapeutic forms of nicotine, providing effective relief from cravings and withdrawal symptoms to help you quit smoking. As your body adjusts to less nicotine, you can gradually decrease the amount you take until you no longer need it. 

Both Nicorette Gum and Nicorette Lozenges come in two strengths of nicotine – 2mg and 4mg – so you can choose the right product for you. When used as directed, Nicorette can double your chances of successfully quitting smoking.*

The NicoDerm® CQ® Patch comes in 3 steps to help you quit. Which step you start on depends on how much you smoke.

Read on to see the complete ingredients lists for Nicorette Gum, Nicorette Lozenge products and NicoDerm CQ patches.
