Chantix
Chantix contains the active ingredient Varenicline and is marketed outside the United States as Champix. It is the first medication in its class to be solely designed for helping smokers give up their habit for good. The treatment is known medically as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist. This means that it works by stimulating the same receptors in the brain that nicotine targets. By targeting these receptors, Chantix has helped to reduce and, in some cases, remove the presence of withdrawal symptoms like irritability and depression. Chantix is an FDA approved treatment and has been available since May 2006.How does Chantix work?
Chantix is a very unique medication that works differently to any other smoking cessation treatment available today. It targets the receptors in the brain that are usually stimulated by nicotine, when smoking a cigarette. By attaching itself to these receptors and constantly keeping them stimulated, the brain and body feels relaxed and free of withdrawal symptoms. This is achieved without the use of the dangerous chemical nicotine provided in many stop smoking patches and gums.As Chantix attaches itself to the receptors in the brain, it blocks any nicotine that is inhaled. If the user relapses and smokes another cigarette whilst trying to give up, they will find none of the usual pleasure in smoking. The rewarding affects from nicotine usually experienced on the body are no longer effective.
How is Chantix taken?
Chantix is provided in a white and blue tablet form and the full course of treatment lasts for 12 weeks. A full course will consist of a starter pack and then continuation packs. A starter pack contains 11 x 0.5mg white tablets and 14 x 1.0mg light blue tablets. This provides the first 2 weeks of treatment. From then on, 2 week continuation packs consist of 28 x 1.0mg blue tablets. 1 starter pack, and 5 continuing packs, makes up the full 12 week course. Some web-based clinics will let you purchase the 4, 8 or 12 week course.- Day 1 to day 3- Take 1 x 0.5mg white Chantix tablet daily.
- Day 4 to day 7- Take 1 x 0.5mg white Chantix twice daily. It is recommended you take 1 tablet in the morning and 1 in the evening. If possible, take the tablets at the same time every day.
- Day 8 to day 14- Take 1 x 1mg blue Chantix tablet twice daily. Again, this should be taken once in the morning and once in the evening.
- Day 15 to finish- Continue to take 2 blue Chantix tablets every day until you have finished the course of treatment.
Under the rare circumstances that you experience side effects whilst taking Chantix, there is the option of taking the 0.5mg tablets for the entire duration of the course. These half strength tablets are not as effective however they significantly reduce the chances of unwanted side effects occurring. If at any point during your smoking cessation treatment, you feel a side effect is becoming particularly bothersome, you should speak to your local physician immediately.
