Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess whether combining nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with varenicline is more effective and safe for quitting smoking than using varenicline alone.
- - Conducted as a randomized, blinded clinical trial with 446 smokers in South Africa over a 12-week treatment period, the trial measured tobacco abstinence through exhaled carbon monoxide levels.
- - Results showed that the combination treatment led to significantly higher rates of continuous abstinence at both 12 weeks (55.4% vs. 40.9%) and 24 weeks (49.0% vs. 32.6%) compared to varenicline alone.
