Chantix Information:
Chantix (generic name: Varenicline) is a drug which is prescribed for patients who want to quit smoking. It treats the nicotine withdrawals symptoms which aid giving up smoking by working with the brain to block the pleasurable effects of smoking. It is used together with behaviour modification and therapy. Smoking is the leading cause of lung disease, and people who smoke also increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and mouth or throat cancer. Smoking is also harmful as cigarettes and tobacco contain approximately 4000 chemicals, and hundreds of these are toxic and cause harm to the body. Varenicline is highly addictive, and so people who quit smoking commonly get withdrawal symptoms, and may feel extremely agitated or stressed. Chantix helps to reduce these feelings by stopping the chemicals in the brain that make you feel as though the nicotine is having a pleasurable effect. Overall, Chantix is effective in helping a patient quit smoking (almost 3 times greater than placebo) at 1 year from the start of treatment.
Chantix Side Effects:
