Varenicline
Rescue therapy for smoking cessation
Nicotine inhaler

Nicotine gum
Nicotine Lozenge
Nicotine Patch
Requires least instruction

Slow onset of action and lack of control over release is a negative

Serum concentration nearly the level of a 1 ppd smoker

44mg patch no more effective

25mg 16hr patch no more effective than 15mg 16hr (Risky because relapse in the early morning, but you should use it for pregnant and nursing women)

Tx > 8 weeks no more effective
Bupropion
Selectively inhibits reuptake of noradrenaline & dopamine

150mg q. day X 3; then 150mg bid X 7-12wks (start slowly because can cause seizures)

More cost effective than placebo, NTP alone or in combination with NTP

Safe & effective in COPD

More effective in men smoking greater than 1ppd & women smoking < 1ppd

Sustained therapy for 1 year increased quit rate @1 ½ yr (55 v.42% :B v. P) but not @ 2 yr (41 v.40%)
Varenicline
Partial Nicotine Agonist Effect (has the potential to relieve craving and withdrawal)

Start slowly because it causes nausea and vomiting

Adverse effects: ABNORMAL DREAMS

Improves continuous abstinance rates (compared to buproprion)
Nicotine Oral Inhaler
Plugs soaked with nicotine (6-16/day) X 6 months

Buccal absorption

Serum concentration 33-43% of 1 ppd smoker

More rapid serum levels than patch or gum

15% success rates

Rx only – success is 3 x c/w OTC
What decreases absorption of rescue therapy with smoking cessation?
Slower absorption… coffee, sofa and acid containing foods decrease the absorption
Nicotine Nasal Spray
Dose 0.5 mg in each nostril 8 to 40 X /day

1 year abstinence rate 18% to 26% (very high attrition rate in studies)

Very rapid onset of action

Serum concentration 1/3-3/4 that of 1 ppd smoker

Rx only

Most rapid rate of absorption, but feels like hot poker up the nose
Nicotine Gum
Serum concentration 1/3-2/3 that of 1 ppd smoker

Acid environment decrease absorption therefore no coffee, juice, soda, food 1/2 hr before, during, or after

1-2 pieces/hr recommended 23% to 39% quit rate at 1 yr

Scheduled dosing better than ad lib

Mouth ulcers not from gum but from quit attempt (40%)
Nicotine Lozenge
Available in 1, 2 & 4mg doses

Quit OR 3.4 c/w 3.14(gum) and 5.47 (bupropion)

SubLingual placement

Recommended dose 20-40mg/d

Serum nicotine level 25-27% higher than equivalent doses of gum
Does Nicotine Replacement Therapy acutally help?

Risk/benefit in highly addicted: patch (category D), gum (categoryC)1
Bupropion is category B

no difference in cessation rate in depressed vs. nondepressed

and Smoking Cessation
smoking prevalence 80-90% and nicotine restores cognitive deficits
Cigarette consumption < 10/day
Do not need nicotine replacement, may need bupropion and behavioral modification
Does medication change success rates when quitting smoking?
medication doubles the success rate
Behavioral Therapy in Smoking Cessation
