Brief Answer:
It contains Cinnamon

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Regarding your first question it is true that not everyone likes the taste of nicotine gum and it contains substances such as mint, cinnamon and other sweetners. In case you are not comfortable with gum you can choose lozenges available in the market.

The chances of weight gain with seroquel depends on the dose and underlying condition.Almost 40% of individuals with seroquel report weight gain.

Regarding blood pressure management the first strategy is exercise followed by diet modification. If these two does not work appropriately that we need medications. I mean to say that lifestyle medication plays great role in management of hypertension.

I hope this answers you.
Thanks again.
