Pharmaceutical product containing artificial sweetener, but did not indicated so on packet.?!
Now, the pharmacy won't exchange or refund me for the packet, because I opened it.
Answers: The product is Nicorette chewing.gum. The sweetener is "acessulfame k". I only realized it contained artificial sweeteners after I opened the packet and read the internal instruction leaflet.

depends what country you're in, different countries have different regulations concerning the listing of ingredients on the outside of their packages.
some countries also have loopholes to get past this. it's a very difficult area to keep up with. did it say accessulfame K on the outside? if so, and you didn'tr ealise it was artificial sweetener you need to read up and know every name that those things you're trying to avoid come under. i have lots of allergies and battle with similar issues all the time.
Artificial sweetener is probably less harmful than the cigarettes you were smoking.
So whats the problem . Not going to harm you is it Don't you want to give up smoking ?
Critics of the use of acesulfame potassium say the chemical has not been studied adequately and may be carcinogenic, although these claims have been dismissed by the USFDA[and by equivalent authorities in the European Union.
Acesulfame Potassium, also called acesulfame K or just ace-K, is a non-caloric artifical sweetener that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. It was discovered in 1967 by Hoechst AG and approved for use in the United States in 1988.
Acesulfame K is not metabolized by the body and is excreted unchanged.
