Definitions

  • Treatment of nicotine cravi ng and/or smoking withdrawal symptoms with an oral composition containi ng nicotine and caffeine or xanthine
  • Chewing beeswax, eating candy and peppermints as well as cold turkey interruption have been tried without much success.
  • the addition of chemicals designed to sicken the user or render smoking repulsive to the user have also not produced good results.
  • More recent therapies for smoking cessation have focused on the administration of nicotine to the smoker. These therapies allow the individual to satisfy a nicotine habit while minimizing or eliminating side effects caused by absorbing nicotine through the lungs along with the other harmful by-products of combustion of tobacco.
  • Nicotine supplementation has proven to be an effective therapy as an adjunct to smoking cessation in helping to reduce the craving for smoking and provide relief from smoking withdrawal symptoms. However, there are many smokers for whom nicotine supplementation alone is inadequate.
  • a composition can be formulated which provides the combination of nicotine and caffeine or caffeine equivalent in a single therapy. It has also been discovered that such a combination may offer the advantage of providing treatment and/or relief of nicotine craving and/or smoking withdrawal symptoms to a broader spectrum of smokers who wish to break the smoking habit. It has further been discovered that these compositions may also curb the appetite which may aid in reducing the weight gain that is commonly experienced by individuals who stop smoking.
  • the present invention relates to an oral composition for the treatment of nicotine craving or smoking withdrawal symptoms comprising nicotine and caffeine or caffeine equivalent, wherein the composition delivers from about 0.05mg to about lOmg of nicotine, and from about 0. lmg to about 250mg of caffeine or caffeine equivalent.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for providing treatment and/or relief of nicotine craving and/or smoking withdrawal symptoms to a human or lower animal in need of such treatment comprising the administration of a safe and effective amount of an oral composition comprising nicotine, and caffeine or caffeine equivalent.
  • the subject invention comprises nicotine, caffeine or caffeine equivalent, and preferably one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers suitable for oral administration. These compositions are useful for the treatment and/or relief of nicotine craving and/or smoking withdrawal symptoms.
  • nicotine craving and “smoking withdrawal symptoms” as used herein both refer to any physical or psychological reaction relating to breaking the habit of smoking tobacco or using any tobacco product or decreasing the frequency or intensity of smoking tobacco or using any tobacco product.
  • pharmaceutically-acceptable is used herein to describe materials that are non-toxic and suitable for administration to humans and/or lower animals.
  • pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier as used herein means any material safe and effective for use in the compositions of the present invention.
  • Such materials include pH adjusters, diluents, binders, lubricants, glidants, disintegrants, gum bases, elastomer solvents, liquid oral carriers, emollients, emulsifiers, buffering agents, solvents, preservatives, agents for regulating isotonicity, fillers, wetting agents, thickening agents, suspending agents, solubilizing agents, humectants, sweeteners, flavorings, plasticizers, bioadhesive compounds, surfactants, aromatic compounds, agents for aiding the film-forming properties and substantivity of the formulations, antimicrobials for maintaining the antimicrobial integrity of the compositions, antioxidants, agents suitable for aesthetic purposes such as fragrances, pigments, and colorings, non-soluble ingredients, and mixtures thereof.
  • safe and effective amount mean a sufficient amount of material to provide the desired benefit without undue adverse side effects commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio when used in the manner of this invention.
  • the specific safe and effective amount will vary with such factors as the particular condition that is being treated, the severity of the condition, the duration of the treatment, the physical condition of the patient, the nature of concurrent therapy (if any), and the specific formulation and optional components hereinafter.
  • suitable for oral administration refers to any formulation that is suitable for the convenient administration of the composition whereby the composition is taken into the mouth and swallowed, placed in contact with mucous membranes of the mouth, and/or throat and/or pharynx and dissolved slowly over a period of time, or taken into the mouth but not necessarily swallowed, e.g., chewing gum.
