Anyone using Nicotine patches for Long Covid?

Posted by tgroff @tgroff, Apr 19, 2023

There is lots of discussion on Facebook Long Covid forums about nicotine patches helping with long covid symptoms after a few days of adjustment to the patches. Any thoughts on this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Challenging in what way?

Jump to this post

Hi,
Yes, some times it makes me nauseous -even to vomiting. So I have started
taking a small amount every two hours or so. Adds up to 2-4 mgs.
I have taken a break. And found a news article from a research
group about an inhaler (or simple nasal drip) called Pcans which
has been found to cure colds, flu and even covid ( in mice.) It is not
billed as such and has already passed through FDA.
We have ordered it to see about it. Apparently it doesn't include
new drugs.
Cheers, Eliza

I am following the protocol of Italian researchers to, I hope, help restore my sense of smell lost with LC over 4 years ago. The product used is a very finely ground PeaLut called Glialia, which is a powder you keep under your tongue for 10 mins. designed to dissolve and pass the barrier between the body/blood stream and the brain. Since I’m so long without smell I spent the first month taking 2 sachets per day along with 1 alpha lipoic acid 600 mg pill, and smell training. I used to consider myself lucky if I had one smell a day, at the weekend I was conscious of say 4…so bit better. Food not smelling yet though! Not 100% sure if Epitech the manufacturers are selling in USA but I do know I GB company was selling to US. Try looking things up thru Uk charity Abscent ( though changed their name this year you’ll find a link)

Hi,
Thank you, this is most helpful. I have been on 4mgs of nicotine for 4 days now.
After vaccine and after covid I noticed brainfog and lack of energy.
I don't know how much I should be taking as preventative; Dr. Ardis and his wife
and his clients take it as preventative - and as knd of cleanser of cells after covid.
Please stay in touch -

Had been taking 15 mcg zinc tablets for years as protocol for hypothyroidism, so I doubt I was short of that prior to LC smell loss!
