OUR SERVICES > SMOKING CESSATION
Champix® (varenicline): Is a nicotine free medication that stimulates nicotinic receptors in the brain. This relieves the craving and withdrawal symptoms you can get when you stop smoking.It also helps prevent nicotine from attaching to the receptors in the first place, so if you do relapse and have a cigarette, the nicotine you inhale will be less enjoyable.
The treatment course is usually for 12 weeks, but may be extended in certain scenarios. Before commencing treatment you will need to set a quit date and start Champix® 1- 2 weeks before this date. You may find it helpful to take up a new hobby or make plans for when you finish the 12 week course. Consider telling your friends, colleagues and family that you're trying to quit so they can offer support by not smoking around you. You may also need to find other ways to take breaks or socialise like going for walks.
The course will involve taking 0.5mg and 1mg tablets.
