Activity Description

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is for those who want to quit smoking, as abruptly stopping can cause withdrawals and cravings. Nicotine withdrawal occurs after person smoking cigarettes discontinues the use of cigarettes suddenly. Using NRT helps reduce the motivation to smoke cigarettes because the body still gets nicotine from another safer method. Nicotine comes in a patch, lozenge, inhalers, spray, and gum forms and can provide the body the dose of nicotine that it previously got from cigarettes. This activity outlines the indications, mechanism of action, methods of administration, significant adverse effects, contraindications, monitoring, and toxicity of NRT, so providers can direct patient therapy to help them in smoking cessation.
