01
Overview
A combination therapy approach for smoking cessation that utilizes three different FDA-approved smoking cessation medications: nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion sustained-release (SR), and varenicline. Each medication works through different mechanisms to help reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Varenicline acts as a partial agonist at α4β2 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, bupropion works through noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems, and nicotine replacement therapy provides controlled doses of nicotine to reduce withdrawal symptoms.
