Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Best drug in gutka addiction is motivation. If he has motivation to leave gutka, only then you can get good result. For time been, you can advise him for nicotine replacement therapy(NRT) like nicotine chewing gums, gel, spray or patch. You can consult a psychiatrist for it. NRT would help him to decrease the dose and rest depends upon his motivation.
