About Champix
Champix is clinically proven to be the most effective prescription smoking cessation treatment. In comparison with other medications designed to help you quit smoking, Champix has the highest success rate for successful smoking cessation. In fact, clinical studies found that users of Champix were twice as likely to give up smoking successfully than with no medication to help them.
This makes Champix the most effective stop smoking medication, ahead of e-cigarettes, behavioural therapy and nicotine gum or patches.
Benefits of Champix
NHS testing found that 45% of people had successfully quit smoking altogether after 12 weeks of using Champix. This compares to just 22% of people who used bupropion and only 11% of people who tried to quit using a placebo effect.
Champix isn’t just the most effective medication for quitting smoking when compared to other leading methods. There are many other benefits of using Champix which make it the best smoking cessation medication available. The benefits of using Champix include:
- A significant reduction of nicotine cravings
- Less feelings of stress, anxiety and irritability
- A smaller chance of experiencing insomnia or other sleep problems
- Alleviation of headaches
- A gradual elimination of nicotine reliance
- The opportunity to stop smoking in just two weeks
Champix can be used alongside other treatment methods for an even higher chance of success.
How Champix works
Champix is unique as it uses an active ingredient called varenicline. This works in several ways:
- Creates the feeling of nicotine without actually releasing the harmful substance into your body
- Reduces your body’s reliance on nicotine
- Eliminates the cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking
- Reduces any pleasant sensations you associate with smoking
Varenicline bonds directly with nicotine receptors in the brain to stop the feelings you get from smoking a cigarette.
