Criteria for Exclusion
It is important for advisors to be aware of any possible reasons for exclusion from the provision of NRT, as shown below.
If you have any concerns about prescribing a particular client with NRT, it is always worth speaking to their GP or healthcare professional.
- Clients not consenting to support
- Clients who have not yet set a quit date
- Clients who are currently hospitalised as a result of:
- A myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Unstable or worsening angina (including Prinzmetal’s angina)
- Severe dysrhythmia or CVA (cerebral vascular accident, i.e. stroke) and considered to be unstable and/or have uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure) without a written recommendation from the consultant for NRT treatment
- Clients with previous serious adverse reaction to NRT or any of the other ingredients contained in the products (e.g., glue in patch)
