Do You Know How Chantix Works To Stop Smoking?

Chantix works by reducing the smoker's craving for nicotine by binding to receptors in the brain and reducing the symptoms of withdrawal. Chantix (varenicline) also reduces the satisfaction a smoker receives when smoking a cigarette.

Clinical trials to date have shown that Chantix is more effective than currently available oral antismoking prescription medicines. In trials, 44% of the group treated with Chantix had stopped smoking after being treated for 12 weeks, as opposed to 11% of smokers taking the placebo.

Over the same duration, it was also shown that Chantix is twice as effective as Zyban (bupropion), the other main non-nicotine drug treatment.
