5 1. Nicotine replacement therapy prescribing algorithm SHFT will supply NRT products for a maximum of 6 months Assess level of nicotine dependence. Consider: How many cigarettes a day does the person usually smoke? Patient choice of NRT product How soon after waking does the person have his / her first cigarette? Known allergies to NRT products Previous use of NRT Current medical conditions If patient is on clozapine, obtain level and adjust dose as per Trust clozapine guideline (CP 114) (1). Check GASS for clozapine and increase physical observations. Refer to appendix 8 of this guideline for details of dose adjustments required for other medication when stopping / abstaining from smoking Choose NRT products based on patient preference, level of dependence, previous use of NRT, contraindications, adverse effects of the preparations, nicotine withdrawal and cravings (2) Light smoker Smokes fewer than 10 cigarettes daily Moderate / heavy smoker Smokes more than 10 cigarettes daily (2, 3, 4, 5) Nicotine patch 14mg / 24 hours for 6 8 weeks then 7mg / 24 hours for 2 4 weeks OR 15mg / 16 hours Invisi patch for 6 8 weeks then 10mg / 16 hours Invisi patch for 2 4 weeks (2, 3, 4, 5) Nicotine patch 21mg / 24 hours for 6 8 weeks then 14mg / 24 hours for 2 weeks then 7mg / 24 hours for 2 weeks OR 25mg / 16 hours Invisi patch for 8 weeks then 15mg / 16 hours Invisi patch for 2 weeks then 10mg / 16 hours Invisi patch for 2 weeks NOTE: if a patient is abstaining from smoking only for the duration of his / her hospital stay (rather than stopping smoking long-term), it would be appropriate for him / her to continue on the higher dose patch whilst in hospital, and not to attempt the reducing dosage regimen detailed above. Apply the patch on waking to dry, non-hairy skin on the hip, trunk or upper arm (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Hold in position for seconds to ensure adhesion (2) For the 24 hour patch: Remove the patch the following day and place a new patch on a different area (2, 3, 4, 5). Avoid using the same site for at least seven days (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). For the 16 hours patch: Apply on waking in the morning and remove at bedtime (2). Avoid using on the same site for several days. Leigh House to only use the 16hour patches and only for 12 weeks If the person experiences strong cravings for cigarettes upon waking, a 24 hour patch may be more suitable (2) If withdrawal symptoms are experienced, the strength of the patch should be maintained or increased until the patient is stabilised (2). If a patient using the high-strength patch experiences excessive side effects that do not resolve within a few days, he / she should be changed to a medium-strength patch for the remainder of the initial treatment period and then use the lower strength patch for 2 4 weeks (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Monitor and review on an ongoing basis to ensure effectiveness. Combine with a short-acting preparation Not to be prescribed if the patient is using electronic cigarettes or vapes Acidic drinks such as coffee or fruit juice may decrease the absorption of nicotine through the buccal mucosa and should be avoided for 15 minutes before the use of oral NRT (2). Nicotine lozenge 1mg / 2mg / 4mg Dose: One lozenge every 1 2 hours when the urge to smoke occurs (2, 10, 11). Max 15 lozenges / 24 hours. Individuals who smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes daily should use the lower strength lozenges (2, 10). Individuals who smoke more than 20 cigarettes daily and those who fail to stop smoking with the low-strength lozenges should use 4mg lozenges (2, 11). For all other individuals, the 1mg or 2mg lozenges should be used. If an adverse event occurs with a high strength lozenge, a lower strength lozenge should be considered instead (10). If attempting smoking cessation, treatment should continue for 6 12 weeks before attempting a reduction in dose (BNF). Use beyond 6 months is generally not recommended (10). Administration: Allow the lozenge to dissolve slowly in the mouth until the taste becomes strong (10, 11). The lozenge should then be lodged between the gum and the cheek (10, 11). When the taste fades, the lozenge should be sucked again (10, 11). From time to time, move the lozenge from one side of the mouth to the other (2). This routine should be repeated until the lozenge dissolves completely (10). Try not to swallow excessively as the nicotine needs to be absorbed through the buccal mucosa. Lozenges last for minutes (2, 10). OR Nicotine inhalation cartridge., not to be used at Leigh House Dose: Max 6 cartridges / 24 hours Administration: Place the cartridge in the device and draw in air through the mouthpiece (2). Each session can last for approximately five minutes (2). The amount of nicotine from one puff of the cartridge is less than that from a cigarette (2, 12). Therefore it is necessary to inhale more often than when smoking a cigarette (2). A 15mg cartridge lasts for approximately 40 minutes of intense use (2, 12). One cartridge 4 6 normal strength cigarettes. OR Nicotine Oral spray (Quickmist mouthspray) restricted use, not to be used for new patients from Oct 1 st Particularly good for heavier smokers - faster onset of action compared with other products. Dose: 1 2 sprays in the mouth (up to 4 sprays / hour) when the urge to smoke occurs or to prevent cravings (2, 9). Max 64 sprays / 24 hours Administration: The oral spray should be released into the mouth, holding the spray as close to the mouth as possible (9) and avoiding the lips (2). Release one spray into the side of the mouth. The patient should not inhale while spraying and should avoid swallowing for a few seconds after use (2, 9). If using the spray for the first time, or if it has not been used for 2 or more days, prime the unit before use (2) (point the spray away from the user or other people and press the top of the device 3 times until a fine spray appears) (9) Care should be taken to avoid spraying into the eyes (9).

10 5. Smoking and interactions with medication Tobacco smoke contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that induce certain hepatic enzymes (most notably CYP1A2) (13). For some drugs smoking significantly reduces plasma levels of affected medications (13). Therefore higher doses of those medications are needed in people who smoke, compared with people who do not smoke (13). When someone stops smoking enzyme activity reduces over the course of a week (13). It is important to note that NRT does not have any effect on this process (13). Plasma levels of the affected medications will then rise, sometimes substantially (13). Therefore dose reductions are usually necessary (13). If the person restarts smoking, enzyme activity increases, plasma levels of the affected medications fall and hence, dose increases are required (13). This process is complicated and additionally so as the effects are difficult to predict (13). Further complexity is introduced by intermittent smoking (13). Close monitoring of plasma levels, clinical progress and adverse effects is essential (13). Some of the medications that could be affected by a patient stopping smoking (or temporarily abstaining from smoking) are listed in the table on the following page (adapted from The Maudsley Guideline, 12 th edition (13) ). This is not an exhaustive list of medications affected by smoking. Please contact your ward pharmacist for further details. When someone changes their smoking status or alters the number smoked or when medications are started / stopped, it is important to liaise closely with the patient s prescriber in hospital and in the community. 10

12 6. Precautions for use of NRT Cardiovascular / cerebrovascular disease: Patients in hospital with a myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia or stroke and who are haemodynamically unstable and / or who have uncontrolled hypertension, should be encouraged to stop smoking without NRT (3, 4, 5, 6, 9). If this fails, these patients should be offered NRT under medical supervision (3, 4, 5. 6, 9, 10, 11, 12). Diabetes: Blood glucose levels may destabilise when stopping smoking or abstaining from smoking 9, 10, 15). This is because catecholamines released by nicotine can affect carbohydrate metabolism 10, 15). Blood glucose levels should be monitored closely when using NRT (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 15). Renal and hepatic impairment: NRT should be used with caution in patients with moderate / severe hepatic impairment and / or severe renal impairment (9, 10). This is because the clearance of nicotine or (3, 4, 5, 6, 9, its metabolites may be decreased, thereby potentially leading to an increase in adverse effects 10, 11). Gastrointestinal disease: Swallowed nicotine (from swallowed spray, lozenges or inhalator) may exacerbate oesophagitis, gastritis, gastric or peptic ulcers, oral or pharyngeal inflammation (9, 10, 11, 12). Oral NRT preparations should be used with caution in patients with these conditions (2, 9, 10, 11, 12). Phaeochromocytoma and uncontrolled hyperthyroidism: NRT should be used with caution in patients with these conditions as nicotine causes the release of catecholamines (4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15). Lung disease: Patients with obstructive lung disease may find the inhalator difficult to use. A nicotine patch, oral spray or lozenge may be preferred. Nicorette inhalator should be used with caution in patients with chronic throat disease, bronchospastic disease and obstructive lung disease (2). Seizures: Potential risks and benefits of nicotine should be carefully evaluated before use in patients taking antiepileptics or in those with a history of epilepsy, as convulsions have been reported in association with nicotine (3, 4, 11). Broken skin /skin disorders: NRT patches should not be placed on broken skin (2, 3, 4), and they should not be used by patients with skin disorders (2, 5, 6, 7). Atopic or eczematous dermatitis (due to localised patch sensitivity): In the case of severe or persistent local reactions at the site of application (eg, severe erythema, pruritus or oedema) or a generalised skin reaction (eg urticarial, hives or generalised skin rashes) nicotine patches should be discontinued and medical review obtained (3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Most warnings for NRT also apply to continued cigarette smoking (2). However, the risk of continued smoking outweighs any risks of using NRT preparations (2). (3, 4, (2, 3, 4, 12

13 7. Side effects of NRT products (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 15) This list is not exhaustive. Please refer to the relevant manufacturer s data sheet ( or the BNF for a more complete list for each product. Patch (adverse Oral spray Lozenge Inhalator effects common in first 2 3 weeks) Urticaria Itching Burning, tingling, numbness Swelling Pain Interference with taste Headache Hiccups Throat / mouth /tongue irritation Dry mouth Burning lips Indigestion Nausea Increased salivation Blurred vision 8. Use of NRT in pregnancy / lactation Please refer to your ward pharmacist prior to prescribing / administering NRT to a patient who is pregnant or lactating. It is important that current advice is obtained from specialist reference sources. 13
