COMBINATION NRT IS 27% MORE EFFECTIVE TO HELP QUIT SMOKING THAN PATCH ALONE

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).

WHAT IS COMBINATION 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

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Combination NRT combines two types of NRT formats to tackle cravings:

A long acting format

A long acting format

(i.e. a nicotine patch) to provide continuous nicotine throughout
the day to prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

A long acting format

A short acting format
