Nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT) offers various dosage forms for smoking cessation. Pharmacists play a key role in guiding consumers on over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription options.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Smoking cessation is a major public health goal.
  • Nicotine-dependent individuals face challenges in quitting.
  • Pharmacologic interventions are crucial for successful cessation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT) concepts.
  • To outline nonprescription and prescription pharmacologic approaches for smoking cessation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current clinical studies.
  • Synthesis of evidence on NRT efficacy and recommendations.

Main Results:

  • NRT is available in multiple forms: gum, patch, nasal spray, inhaler.
  • Nicotine patches are recommended by AHCPR; patches and gum by APA.

  • No single NRT form shows superiority for withdrawal symptom relief.
  • Bupropion hydrochloride shows promise as an adjunct pharmacotherapy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pharmacists are vital resources for NRT product selection.
    • Guidance on OTC and prescription smoking cessation aids is essential.
