For Doctors (HCP Section)

For Healthcare Professionals - Clinical Guidance.

Smoking cessation is among the highest-impact interventions available in primary, respiratory, and cardiac care. The Nitof programme is designed to work alongside your clinical guidance - extending the reach of your prescription with a structured support ecosystem that continues well beyond the consultation room.

Smoking Cessation Approach

HHCL's Integrated Cessation Approach

NITOF 21mg

Physical Layer

Pharmacotherapeutic management of withdrawal symptoms through controlled nicotine delivery, stabilising neurological receptor activity.

NITOF 21mg

Habitual Layer

Behavioural interventions targeting routine-based dependencies and hand-to-mouth synchronisation common in long-term use.

NITOF 21mg

Trigger-based Layer

Counseling strategies to identify and mitigate environmental, emotional, and social stressors that provoke cravings.

Step-Down Therapy

21 → 14 → 7 mg Protocol

Nitof's 21–14–7 mg architecture maps to patient dependency levels determined by Fagerström-based assessment. The systematic dose reduction is designed to allow gradual physiological adaptation to decreasing nicotine levels - significantly reducing withdrawal severity and relapse risk at each transition.
