Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Proper use of gum is important in recieving the greatest benefit from it.Do not chew the gum as you may chew the ordinary chewing gum. Bite on the gum once or twice and then leave it between your cheek and gums, repeat after one minute and then discard the gum.
Do not drink fluids while chewing the gum as it may affect the ability of the medication.

Take care!
