Nicotine Replacement FAQs

What is Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)?

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) involves using products that deliver nicotine to your body without the harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke. This helps to reduce the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and cravings you might experience when trying to quit smoking, making the process more manageable. NRT aims to help you gradually reduce your nicotine dependence until you can become completely smoke-free.

What types of NRT are available at Weldricks Pharmacy?

At Weldricks Pharmacy, we offer a wide range of NRT products to suit different preferences and needs. Our selection includes nicotine patches, chewing gums, lozenges, mouth sprays, and inhalators. Popular brands such as Nicorette, Nicotinell, and Niquitin are available, each offering varying strengths and delivery methods to support your quitting journey.

How do I choose the right NRT product for me?

Choosing the right NRT product depends on your smoking habits and personal preferences. Patches provide a steady, all-day dose of nicotine, while gums, lozenges, sprays, and inhalators offer quick relief for sudden cravings. Some individuals find that using a combination of a patch and a faster-acting product works best. We recommend reading our guide, What NRT Product is Best For Me?, or consulting a healthcare professional for personalised advice.

Can Nicotine Replacement Therapy help with withdrawal symptoms?

By supplying your body with a controlled amount of nicotine, NRT can help ease these symptoms, allowing you to focus on breaking the behavioural habits associated with smoking.

Is Nicotine Replacement Therapy safe to use?

NRT products are generally considered safe and effective when used as directed. They provide nicotine without the thousands of other harmful chemicals found in tobacco. However, it's important to read the product instructions carefully and consult with a pharmacist or healthcare professional if you have any pre-existing health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking other medications.
