Purpose/Usage
Champix, generic name varenicline, is a prescription pill designed to help smokers stop smoking.
How does it work?
Champix works primarily in two ways. Firstly, it reduces the smoker's craving for nicotine by binding to nicotine receptors in the brain and reduces the symptoms of withdrawal. Secondly, it reduces the satisfaction a smoker receives when smoking a cigarette.
How successful was it in clinical trials?
In trials, 44% of the group treated with Champix had stopped smoking after being treated for 12 weeks, as opposed to 11% of smokers taking the placebo. Over the same duration, it was also shown to be twice as effective as Zyban (bupropion), the other main anti-smoking drug treatment.
Precautions
Do not take Champix if you are allergic to varenicline tartrate. It is not recommended to be taken in conjunction with nicotine replacement therapy.
You should not take Champix while you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant.
Do not drive or operate dangerous machines until you are sure that this medication does not affect your mental alertness.
Medicines have benefits and some may have risks. Always read the label
carefully and use strictly as directed. If symptoms continue or you have
side effects consult your pharmacist or doctor immediately.
