Other programs such as the
nicotine patch and gum,
Zyban
and hypnosis do not break
the physical addiction and
their success rates are very
low. The physical addiction
is tough to break because
withdrawal symptoms include
nervousness, irritability,
cold sweats, insomnia,
cravings, and lack of focus,
just to name a few. |

The medicines are ATROPINE
and SCOPOLAMINE. They are
members of a family of drugs

By attaching to acetylcholine receptor
sites, nicotine stimulates nerve
impulses. These impulses are sent to
various parts of the brain, and other
body organs,
creating a mild sense of euphoria,
improved concentration, organ
stimulation and a state of mental
relaxation that reinforces the habit of
smoking. Over time, the body adjusts to
the stimulant effect of nicotine by
counteracting its effects with large
amounts of acetyl-choline
produced and secreted in the midbrain.
When nicotine is withdrawn suddenly
acetylcholine acts as a depressant and
is largely responsible for the physical
and emotional side effects of the
Nicotine Withdrawal Syndrome. Our
medications block acetylcholine and thus
the Nicotine Withdrawal Syndrome making
quitting easier than you ever thought
possible!!! |

What is in the shot?
A combination of FDA
approved medications
(Atropine & Scopolamine)
that go directly to the
nicotine receptor sites and
block them much like how
Novocain works on a tooth. .
