Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Which is better for quitting smoking among Nicotine gum, Bupron, and Varenicline? Please suggest.

Answered by Dr. Nidhi Jain

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

All three have different indications. Still, Varenicline is best to control smoking. They are known to reduce craving. Bupropion is preferred if associated depressive symptoms present. Nicotine gum or patch is preferred if the person cannot control desire by using the above. It is replacement therapy.
