January can be a popular time for patients
looking to quit smoking as part of their
New Year's Resolutions. |
To help your patients make 2025 the year that they
quit smoking for good, recommend Nicorette® combination
nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). |
Combination NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) is the use of
a slow-release NRT (i.e. a nicotine patch) along with a second,
fast-acting format (e.g. nicotine mouthspray, gum or lozenge) and is
recommended by both NICE guidelines2 and the National Centre for
Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT).3 |
This combination of a long- and a short-acting format is
27% more effective than using a single NRT format.1 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Combination NRT combines two types of NRT formats to tackle cravings: |
A long acting format (i.e. a nicotine patch) to provide continuous nicotine throughout
the day to prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms. |
A short acting format (e.g. mouthspray, gum or lozenge) to relieve cravings whenever they strike. |
