Discuss ptins, preferences and previus experiences with patient. High level addictin Optins are given belw. MAX 1 patch and 1 reach fr prduct per patient 20 Cigarettes/day Prescribe a lng acting nictine patch AND a shrt acting reach fr nictine replacement, the ptins are given belw.

Discuss ptins, preferences and previus experiences with patient. VARENICLINE (CHAMPIX) Varenicline prevents the feeling f pleasure during smking by reducing dpamine release in the brain triggered by nictine. This als prevents the subsequent drp in dpamine that triggers cravings and withdrawal. Varenicline is cmmenced 1-2 weeks prir t stpping smking althugh Nictine Replacement Therapy and/r e-cigarettes can be used alngside varenicline in this initial perid. 0.5mg nce daily Day mg twice daily day 4-7 1mg twice daily day 8 end f treatment (12 weeks) One third f patients suffer nausea minimise by having varenicline with a glass f water and fd. Patients can suffer strange dreams but it is safe fr use in patients with a Mental Health diagnsis wh are n stable treatment (i.e n dsage changes r cmmencement f new medicatins in the last 3 mnths) E-CIGARETTES E-cigarettes cntain 95% less harmful chemicals than cigarettes and therefre represent a significant risk reducing behaviur cmpared t smking. It may be a ptential methd f risk reductin fr thse that are nt ready t stp smking. Equally, e-cigarettes can help thse trying t stp smking. E-cigarettes are nt withut risk and still cntain 5% f the harmful chemicals f cigarettes. E-Cigarettes can be used in cmbinatin with ther tbacc addictin therapies including nictine replacement and varenicline. E-cigarettes cannt be prescribed and their use cannt be permitted n hspital grunds.
