Chantix

Brand: CHANTIX

Generic: VARENICLINE

CHANTIX is a non-nicotine prescription medicine specifically developed to help adults 18 and over quit smoking.  It works in two ways:

1. It targets nicotine receptors in the brain, attaches to them, and blocks nicotine from reaching them.
2. It is believed that CHANTIX also activates these receptors, causing a reduced release of dopamine compared to nicotine.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Some people have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions while using CHANTIX to help them quit smoking. Some people had these symptoms when they began taking CHANTIX, and others developed them after several weeks of treatment or after stopping CHANTIX.

If you, your family, or caregiver notice agitation, hostility, depression, or changes in behavior, thinking, or mood that are not typical for you, or you develop suicidal thoughts or actions, anxiety, panic, aggression, anger, mania, abnormal sensations, hallucinations, paranoia, or confusion, stop taking CHANTIX and call your doctor right away.

When you try to quit smoking, with or without CHANTIX, you may have symptoms that may be due to nicotine withdrawal, including urge to smoke, depressed mood, trouble sleeping, irritability, frustration, anger, feeling anxious, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, decreased heart rate, and increased appetite or weight gain.  Some people have even experienced suicidal thoughts when trying to quit smoking without medication. Sometimes quitting smoking can lead to worsening of mental health problems that you already have, such as depression.

►Stop taking CHANTIX and call your healthcare provider right away for:

• thoughts about suicide or dying, or attempts to commit suicide
• new or worse depression, anxiety or panic attacks
• feeling very agitated or restless
• acting aggressive, being angry, or violent
• acting on dangerous impulses
• an extreme increase in activity and talking (mania)
• abnormal thoughts or sensations
• seeing or hearing things that are not there (hallucinations)
• feeling people are against you (paranoia)
• feeling confused
• other unusual changes in behavior or mood

About all your medical conditions, including if you:

• Have ever had depression or other mental health problems, as these symptoms may worsen while taking CHANTIX.
