释义 | nicotine patchnicotine patchnicotine patchnicotine patchA disposable device imbibed with a nicotine-releasing cream, which is used in smoking cessation.Adverse effects Transient burning, itching (50%), erythema (14%), contact hypersensitivity (2.4%). Efficacy Nicotine patches (NPs) result in end-of-treatment smoking cessation of 18–77%, a six-month abstinence of 22–42% (vs 5–28% for placebo patches), and reduce many of the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Available data suggests that 6–8 weeks of NP therapy is adequate in most patients; for success in smoking cessation to be most effective, NPs should be used in conjunction with adjuvant smoking cessation counselling. The abstinence rate in one study was 17% at one year, which is lower than that reported for nicotine gum and behavioural therapy. nicotine patchNicotine transdermal delivery system Substance abuseA device used in smoking cessation Side effects Transient burning, itching–50%, erythema–14%; contact hypersensitivity–2.4%.
