Table 1 Algorithm for weekly dose titration based on amount of smoking during the previous week
If participant reports smoking… | Add this patch to current dose |
|---|---|
0 cigarettes | Continue with last weeks’ dose |
1–5 cigarettes per day | Add 7 mg patch (or placebo) to last week’s dose |
6–9 cigarettes per day | Add 14 mg patch (or placebo) to last week’s dose |
10 or more cigarettes per day | Add 21 mg patch (or placebo) to last week’s dose |
