Not smoking is tough. It takes about 84 days for most of us to get used to it and, in fact, the first 2 weeks are arguably the toughest. To give you the best possible chance to get past those first 2 weeks, it may be worth giving combination therapy a try. Combination therapy is simple - it is when you use more than one nicotine replacement product at once. For example, wear a patch all day and take a *lozenge when you get the urge to smoke. Please note, you mustn’t wear two patches at once.
When you combine treatments, you can attack your smoking habit on two fronts and manage it around the clock. It’s a useful method if you need extra support to stop smoking, but make sure you talk to a healthcare professional before you start on this course of treatment.
Our suggestion tool can help you decide if combination therapy is right for you, providing you information on each treatment option. Nicotinell. Quitting made practical.
Users should stop smoking completely during treatment with nicotine patches
*refers to 1mg lozenge only.
Please read the leaflet enclosed in the pack and make sure you follow the instructions carefully.
