How to take this medication
1. Choose a quit date when you will stop smoking
2. Start taking Chantix® 1 week (7 days) before your quit date. This
lets Chantix® build up in your body. You can keep smoking during this
time. Make sure that you try and stop smoking on your quit date. If you
slip, try again. Some people need a few weeks for Chantix® to work best.
3. Take Chantix® after eating and with a full glass (8 ounces) of water.
4. Most people will keep taking Chantix® for up to 12 weeks. If you have
completely quit smoking by 12 weeks, ask your doctor if another 12 weeks
of Chantix® may help you stay cigarette-free.
5. Join the Free Pfizer Get-Quit? program for a full year of support to
help you quit smoking. (requires you to enter a Pfizer code off your
Chantix® prescription package)
Chantix® comes as a white tablet (0.5 mg) and a blue tablet (1mg). You
start with the white tablet and then usually go to the blue tablet.
Side Effects
The most common side effects with Chantix® are nausea, sleep
disturbance (trouble sleeping, changes in dreaming), constipation, gas,

quitting smoking and/or using Chantix® may effect you.
Precautions

them.

How is Chantix®®
different from other stop-smoking aids?
When you smoke, the nicotine from your cigarette causes receptors in
your brain to release a chemical called dopamine, which is what causes
many of the positive feelings you get when you smoke. When you quit
smoking, going without dopamine causes the sometimes miserable signs and
symptoms of withdrawal. Signs and symptoms such as irritability,
insomnia and difficulty concentrating begin four to six hours after your
last cigarette and can last a month after you quit smoking.
Chantix® works in this way, too. Chantix® stimulates the release of low
levels of dopamine in your brain to help reduce the signs and symptoms
of withdrawal. In addition, Chantix® blocks nicotine receptors in your
brain. So if you lapse and have a cigarette, your cigarette doesn't
stimulate your brain's receptors the way it did in the past. Cigarettes
become much less pleasurable, and your desire to return to regular
smoking again may be reduced.
How do you
take Chantix®?
For best results, it's recommended that
you start taking Chantix® a week before your quit date. Doctors
prescribe the pill for 12 weeks ? once a day at first, then twice a day.
Gradually increasing the dose helps reduce the chance of side effects.
If you've remained smoke-free after 12 weeks, your doctor may consider
prescribing an additional 12 weeks of Chantix® to improve your chances
of remaining smoke-free.
Note: Be sure to tell your doctor about any history of psychiatric
illness before taking Chantix®. Chantix® may worsen a psychiatric
illness even if it's currently under control. It may also cause an old
psychiatric illness to recur
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an advisory in 2008 that
healthcare professionals, patients, patients' families and caregivers
should be alert to and monitor for changes in mood and behavior in
people taking Chantix®. Symptoms may include anxiety, nervousness,
tension, depressed mood, unusual behaviors and thinking about or
attempting suicide. People taking Chantix® should report changes in mood
and behavior to their doctor immediately. The FDA also advises that
people taking Chantix® may experience impaired ability to drive or
operate heavy machinery.
Don't take Chantix® if you're pregnant or are planning to become
pregnant, or if you're breast-feeding. Chantix® hasn't been studied in
these situations, so it isn't clear if it's safe for these women.
People with kidney problems and those on dialysis may need to have a
lower dose of Chantix®, so discuss this with your doctor.
Quitting smoking may alter the effects of certain medications and
supplements on your body. Tell your doctor about all the medications and
supplements you're taking, especially if you're taking inhaled insulin,
asthma medicines or blood thinners.
