Most people have been aware of the dangers associated with smoking for a long time now. Even the negative effects of second-hand smoke are well-documented. A lot of smokers, desperate to get rid of the deadly addiction, try various methods that claim to help in smoking cessation. Some of the traditional methods to stop smoking are the nicotine patch, pills gum or more often the herculean exercise of unadulterated will-power. These methods have worked for some people, but more often they not, they fail to help people really and truly hooked to smoking.
Champix tablets to quit smoking
If you have tried it all and still can’t quit, try Champix, the prescription-only drug that guarantees to make you clean up your act by decreasing the high that you get from smoking. Manufactured by Pfizer, Champix contains the active ingredient varenicline that curbs the craving for nicotine by blocking the nicotine receptors present in the brain and reducing the extent and intensity of the withdrawal symptoms that usually accompany smoking cessation efforts.
The nicotine receptors present in the brain are primarily to blame for addiction to smoking. There are two ways in which Champix acts, it first mimics the effects of nicotine on the receptors and gives the same kind of pleasure that nicotine gives and secondly, it prevents the actual nicotine from cigarettes reaching the receptors as the active ingredient ‘varenicline’ binds itself to the nicotine receptors in the brain. Taking Champix tablets quadruples your chances of quitting smoking successfully and easily compared to other, more traditional methods of smoking cessation. Moreover, it helps smokers to quit smoking without undergoing the agony of getting addicted to another form of nicotine.
Recommended strength and dosage
Champix is available in weekly dose packs, while there is a starter pack with a two-week dosage. It includes easily recognizable light blue and white tablets of 0.5 mg and 1 mg.
The standard recommended dosage is:
Day 1 to Day 3 – 0.5mg once daily
Day 4 to Day 7 – 0.5mg twice daily (morning and evening)
Day 8 (last day for primary treatment) – 1.0mg (twice a day morning and evening)
Missing a dose does not mean you double it. Just continue with the regular dose.
Remember, it’s a long walk to freedom to smoking and quitting midway is not going to help.
