What is the medication sold under the name Chantix?

The medication sold in the U.S. as Chantix is known worldwide mostly as Champix. Both medicines are based on the substance called Varenicline that was discovered in the early 2000s by Pfizer or by Healing Pharma and patented for the nicotine dependence treatment (cigarettes smoking). For the first time, the medication was marketed in 2006.

It helps people even with long-term dependency on tobacco to quit smoking. The mechanism of action of the drug and what makes it more effective and different than the other smoking cessation aids are described below.

If in your country the drug is very expensive, you can buy Chantix from our online pharmacy.

How the medication acts and is it more effective than other smoking cessation aids?

Generic Varenicline with high affinity and selectivity binds to Alfa4Beta2-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of the brain for which it is both a partial agonist (but to a lower extent than nicotine) and an antagonist in the presence of nicotine.

Nicotine binds to the same receptor place to which Varenicline has a higher affinity. Thus, the medication effectively prevents nicotine from stimulating these receptors and activating the dopamine system, the mechanism that on which the formation of nicotine dependence is based.

The efficiency of the medication as a means for nicotine smoking cessation is due to its partial agonism against nicotinic receptors, binding to which diminishes craving for smoking and eases the withdrawal syndrome while leading to a decrease in the sense of pleasure from smoking (antagonism in the presence of nicotine).

The effectiveness and safety of the medication use were studied in three-phase studies. During the studies, its effectiveness was compared to the effectiveness of nicotine-replacement therapy. During the six-week study, the effectiveness of nicotine-replacement therapy was observed only in 16% of people while the results of two twelve-week studies of Chantix were 44% and 64%.

In the direct comparative study of the smoking cessation aids, Varenicline’s effectiveness also surpassed nicotine-replacement therapy. Therefore, if you struggle with cigarettes smoking cessation, you should buy Generic Chantix and give it a try even if nothing else helped you.
