Stop Smoking

Stopping smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health, and the right support can make quitting much more achievable. GetMyMeds offers clinically reviewed stop-smoking treatments, including nicotine replacement therapy and prescription medicines.

How It Works

1. Complete an online consultation - tell us about your smoking habits, health, and quitting goals.
2. A clinician reviews suitability - our prescriber checks that the treatment you have chosen is safe and appropriate for you.
3. Discreet delivery - if suitable, your treatment is sent to you in plain packaging.

Choosing a Treatment

Nicotine replacement therapy, available as patches, gum, sprays, and lozenges, helps manage cravings by providing a controlled amount of nicotine without the harmful smoke. Patches give steady, all-day support, while gums and sprays act faster for sudden cravings, and many people combine the two. Prescription tablets work differently and may suit those who prefer a non-nicotine approach. Combining any treatment with behavioural support and a planned quit date improves your chances of success.

FAQ

Which works best, patches or gum? Both are effective. Patches provide background relief, while gum or spray helps with breakthrough cravings. Using them together can be especially helpful for heavier smokers.

How long should I use stop-smoking treatment? Many courses last around eight to twelve weeks, but this depends on the product and your progress. Our clinicians can advise.

Are there side effects? Some people experience mild effects such as skin irritation from patches or vivid dreams. The consultation helps identify the safest option for you.
