About CHANTIX
A non-nicotine pill
CHANTIX™ (varenicline) is non-nicotine prescription medicine specifically developed to help adults quit smoking.
How is CHANTIX different from other smoking cessation products?
CHANTIX contains no nicotine, but it targets the same receptors that nicotine does. CHANTIX is believed to block nicotine from these receptors. It is the only prescription treatment of its kind.
Studies show: At the end of 12 weeks of CHANTIX, 44% were able to quit smoking. It also helped reduce the urge to smoke.
CHANTIX has been proven to be more effective in helping smokers quit than Zyban®. The average person in these studies had been a smoker for more than 24 years. The trials involved a mix of men and women who smoked on average 10 or more cigarettes a day.
