Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
for Nicotine Withdrawal
NRT provides controlled, lower doses of nicotine without tobacco toxins — via patch, gum, lozenge, inhaler, or spray — to ease withdrawal while breaking the smoking habit.
How it works
Partially maintains nicotine receptor occupancy, reducing withdrawal severity and cravings while the brain's nicotinic acetylcholine receptor upregulation gradually normalises.
What to watch for
Combination NRT (patch + fast-acting form) is significantly more effective than single-product NRT. Available OTC in Australia without prescription. Safe for most people including those with heart disease.
