NICORETTE® Combination Therapy

NICORETTE® Combination Therapy

Now a better chance of giving up.

Tried to quit before?

Giving up smoking is tough - and one of the reasons many people don't succeed is because of the breakthrough cravings that can occur.

Don't despair!

Now there's a new approach to quitting which involves using a patch plus gum - and can help if you've relapsed in the past or experienced cravings using a single form of nicotine replacement therapy. It is specifically designed to let you tailor your nicotine replacement therapy and help you overcome the breakthrough cravings that make quitting so difficult.

Introducing new NICORETTE® Combination Therapy

NICORETTE® Combination Therapy is the only combined approach to quitting that involves using a patch plus gum.

  1. Use a NICORETTE® 16 hour Patch for protection throughout the day. It delivers nicotine throughout your waking hours, helping you through the times when you would normally be smoking.
  2. Chew NICORETTE® 2mg EXTREME CHILL Gum to help manage breakthrough cravings. At times when you need extra help, even while you are wearing a patch, you can chew gum as well, instead of reaching for a cigarette. It'll boost your confidence knowing you have something on hand when the going gets tough!

How NICORETTE® Combination Therapy works

NICORETTE® Combination Therapy is a program to help you quit smoking. As your dependence on nicotine wears off, you progress to a weaker patch and chew fewer pieces of gum, as shown in the table below.

NICORETTE® Combination Therapy gives you a better chance of quitting

It’s clinically proven that using the NICORETTE® Patch and NICORETTE® Gum 2mg together increases your chances of quitting versus using either alone. NICORETTE® 16 hour Patch and 2mg Gum are the only nicotine replacement products approved for use in combination.

After 10 weeks, gradually reduce to 1-2 pieces of gum a day and then stop use. Read the individual package insert for detailed directions for use.
