What is Varenicline for Smoking Cessation?
Varenicline 1mg is a prescription-only medicine designed to help adults quit smoking under medical supervision. It contains the same active ingredient as Champix, offering the same effectiveness at a lower cost. Varenicline works by easing withdrawal, reducing cravings, and making cigarettes less satisfying.
How Does Varenicline Work?
Varenicline targets nicotine receptors in the brain and has two important effects:
-
Craving Control – Helps reduce the urge to smoke and manage withdrawal.
-
Blocking Effect – If you smoke, nicotine’s rewarding effects are reduced, making it less enjoyable.
This dual action makes Varenicline one of the most effective treatments for stopping smoking.
