1
Get your medical injection and follow up treatment and patch from a certified doctor. This injection is the shot that contains the medicine to treat the nicotine cravings.
-
2
Administer the injection intramuscularly in the outer part of your upper arm or the outside of your hip. Intramuscularly means you insert the injection needle into the flesh rather than your veins.
-
3
Take the course of treatment given to you by the doctor orally for the two weeks after administering the injection. This oral supplement will help the injection stay effective.
-
4
Apply the patch from your doctor onto your body. This patch should be placed on a smooth, hard area of the body like the forearm or chest, but not directly over your heart.
-
5
Monitor your cravings to determine whether you feel a recurrence of them after the course of oral supplements. Your doctor may tell you to administer a second injection.
