Quit rate doubled
Champix, taken for twelve weeks, is more effective than nicotine replacement or the alternative prescription medication, bupropion to help stop smoking permanently.
How Champix works
Champix mimics the action of nicotine in the body and blocks its effects. This means whilst a person takes Champix there is less craving for cigarettes and smoking is less pleasurable.
Dosage regime
Champix tablets are taken twice-daily usually for 12 or 24 weeks.
It is best to start Champix with a starter pack so that the dose can be built up slowly over the first 2 weeks.
Start 1 to 2 weeks before target stop date, initially one 0.5mg once daily for 3 days, increased to one 0.5mg tab twice daily for 4 days, then one 1 mg tab twice daily for 11 weeks (reduce to one 0.5mg twice daily if not tolerated); 12 week course, can be repeated for a further 12 weeks.
Side effects
Not everyone experiences side effects. The most common side effects are gastro-intestinal disturbances, appetite changes, dry mouth, taste disturbance, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, sleep disorders, abnormal dreams. For full details about Champix see the patient information leaflet.

Cautions
People with history of psychiatric disorders or active depression should not take Champix. Some people relapse or experience insomnia and depression for a few days when they stop taking Champix (this can be avoided by tapering the dose down before stopping all together). Some people even feel suicidal after stopping Champix and, although there is conflicting evidence about whether this happens more when Champix is stopped than otherwise, it is best to be forewarned in case there is a need to seek help should this happen.
Support services
As with all medication taken to help stop smoking Champix works best if support is given at the same time. Quit is a charity which offers free phone support and advice.
Starter pack
Start the tablets one week before the quit date. People not already taking Champix should order the 2 week starter pack first to build up the dose.
