Champix is a prescription medication that helps people stop smoking. When used in combination with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), Champix can help people quit smoking, making it a more effective treatment option for reducing smoking. The drug's active ingredient is Champix, a powerful anti-craving agent that belongs to a class of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
The drug, which works by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain, helps to quit smoking, and has been used to help smokers quit for decades. In recent years, the availability of Champix has made it easier for people to quit smoking with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).
However, the use of Champix in the UK has been associated with serious side effects. Studies have shown that some people taking the drug may experience increased blood pressure, heart problems, nausea, and suicidal thoughts or actions, while others may experience lessened withdrawal symptoms. In addition, some people who have taken Champix in the past may have stopped smoking altogether.
To minimise these side effects and ensure that Champix is prescribed appropriately, the NHS recommends people with a BMI of 30 or more to stop smoking and seek immediate medical attention. People taking a BMI of 18 or over should stop smoking immediately. This will not affect their smoking cessation plan, and they should consult a doctor to ensure this is the case. In addition, those with a BMI of less than 27 should stop smoking and seek medical advice.
If you or a loved one are prescribed Champix, it is important to ensure that it is used safely and effectively. In some cases, it may interact with other medications, causing serious side effects. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment to discuss potential drug interactions and other treatment options.
To minimise the risk of side effects, it is recommended to take Champix regularly, and to avoid abrupt withdrawal when taking the drug. If you stop taking Champix and have a serious side effect, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
In addition to the risk of side effects, the drug has also been associated with a higher chance of suicidal thoughts or actions, particularly in young people. If you experience unusual changes in mood, behaviour, or feelings, or if you have thoughts about suicide, seek help immediately. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist, and to consult with them about any potential side effects.
Champix is not suitable for everyone. People who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should not take the drug. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, seek medical advice before taking this medication.
