How it works
Partially maintains nicotine receptor occupancy, reducing withdrawal severity and cravings while the brain's nicotinic acetylcholine receptor upregulation gradually normalises.
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.
