Verwendung von Nikotin zur Herstellung eines Kit zur Behandlung von Krankheitszuständen, die auf eine Nikotinbehandlung ansprechen

Nicotine is proposed for use in the treatment of various conditions susceptible to alleviation by nicotine therapy such as disease states characterised by reduced central cholinergic function. Nicotine is administered to a subject initially having a blood supply substantially free of nicotine at a dose and for a period sufficient to allow the subject to tolerate the dose and thereafter increasing the dose of nicotine at intervals until a therapeutic dose is achieved. Smokers may also benefit from the treatment regimen.
