Varenicline with nicotine lozenges vs varenicline in hospitalized daily smokers

Benjamin Toll, Professor at Medical University of South Carolina, shared a paper by Gregory R. Weeks et al. on X:

“Great paper in JAMA Network Open regarding combination varenicline and nicotine lozenges vs varenicline.

Conclusions: “In this randomized clinical trial of the combination of varenicline and NRT lozenges in hospitalized adult daily smokers, the combination treatment improved self-reported abstinence compared with varenicline alone, without compromising safety, but it did not improve biochemically validated abstinence.””
