Chantix (varenicline) is a medication used to help smokers quit,
frequently used in addition to counseling and behavioral
changes.
The Chantix Tab Titration Pack is a convenient way for users of
Chantix to ease into treatment. By starting with a lower dosage and
gradually increasing the strength, some side effects are reduced or
eliminated completely for many patients.
Who Uses Chantix Tab Titration Packs?
The Chantix Tab Titration Pack is for smokers beginning treatment
with Chantix. Chantix is proven to reduce the desire to smoke and
increase the odds of successfully quitting compared to those
attempting to quit without aid.
How Does it Work?
Chantix alters the brain's reception of nicotine, eliminating the
pleasurable response. When a smoker no is no longer rewarded with
enjoyment for smoking, it is much easier to resist the desire and
ultimately quit entirely.
The Chantix Tab Titration Pack eases the smoker into treatment. The
initial doses are low and gradually increased as the body adjusts.
This significantly reduces the instances and severity of certain
side effects, particularly nausea. Severe side effects deter many
patients from continuing treatment, which may ultimately result in
failure to quit smoking.
Many smokers find that behavioral changes and counseling are also
very helpful when it comes to quitting, with or without medical
aids.
How is it Taken?
The Chantix Tab Titration Pack contains tablets of differing
dosages. Patients start out with a low dosage, usually 0.5 mg, once
a day. According to physician instructions, dosage will gradually
increase to 0.5 mg twice a day and eventually 1 mg twice a day.
Treatment usually lasts 12 weeks. If needed the treatment may be
repeated for another 12 weeks.
Because treatment with Chantix starts at a low dosage, treatment is
usually begun a week or longer prior to actually trying to stop
smoking. This allows the medication to build up in the system and
gives the body time to adjust.
Chantix should be taken after eating. A missed dose may be taken
when remembered or skipped entirely if it is near time for the next
dose.

Adverse Effects:
The advantage of using the Chantix Tab Titration Pack is the

adverse effects.
In some patients use of Chantix causes confusion and impairs
reaction times.
Some patients also experience mood and behavioral changes,

thoughts. The prescribing physician should be notified if any of
these symptoms are experienced or if there is a history of
depression.
