Introduction
How many times have you felt that you are getting irritable, tensed, over-anxious, fat, fatigues, nervous, and uncomfortable for no reason? Nicotine is playing the devil's work in you perhaps! O.K., so you decide to quit but don't know how! Here is what you should be looking for from the local drug store-Chantix!
The first time you puffed nicotine you knew that it could be an addiction in the later stages. However, what you thought over the years is that its upto you to control it, right? No it's not! Smoking is a chronic medical condition that makes quitting difficult. So instead of rationalizing and trying to fight the addiction here is what you should do! Consider Chantix today!
Why should you quit smoking?
When you puff nicotine, it's a hard habit to break. When smokers inhale smoke from a cigarette, nicotine reaches the brain within seconds and binds to nicotinic receptors, which activates the reward pathway in brain circuitry. This stimulates the pleasure center in the brain. The initial effects recede quickly and a cycle of craving and withdrawal takes hold.
What is Chantix?
Chantix is a smoking cessation medicine used together with behavior modification and counseling support to help you stop smoking. Chantix or Varenicline can be four times as effective in helping a smoker give up cigarettes successfully, according to a report in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association). Chantix was approved in the U.S. market by FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in May. 2006. This drug has been officially the first new prescription medicine approved and manufactured by Pfizer Inc.
Chantix made some ground-breaking discoveries!
Chantix's approval was based on a comprehensive clinical trial program including four pivotal trials involving more than 2,000 cigarette smokers. Subjects on average had smoked about 21 cigarettes per day for an average of approximately 25 years. In two identically designed studies, patients receiving a 12-week course of Chantix therapy (1 mg twice daily) nearly quadrupled the likelihood of quitting than those taking placebo and had nearly twice the likelihood of quitting than those patients taking buproprion (150 mg twice daily), after the 12-week course of therapy. Enrolled patients were provided with educational materials. Patients were followed for an additional 40 weeks without treatment. After one year, approximately one-in-five patients who received the 12-week course of Chantix remained smoke-free. For those patients who quit at the end of 12 weeks, an additional course of 12 weeks treatment with Chantix resulted in a greater likelihood of long-term success in quitting smoking.
Conclusion
In the clinical trials, the most common adverse effects of Chantix were nausea, headache, vomiting, flatulence, insomnia, abnormal dreams, and dysgeusia (change in taste perception). However, these symptoms are nothing compared to what nicotine does to your system-cancer, heart and lung diseases, and even infertility. The choice is yours to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Buy Chantix today; live life longer the healthy way!
