Indications
Varenicline is used by adults to help stop smoking. To increase your chance of success, use this medication with a stop-smoking program that includes education, support, and counselling. Quitting smoking lowers your risk of heart and lung disease, as well as cancer.
Varenicline works by blocking nicotine’s effects in the brain that make you want to smoke. Discuss the risks and benefits of this medication and other ways to quit smoking (such as nicotine replacement treatment) with your doctor.
Use and Dosage
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking varenicline and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
There are several ways to use varenicline. One way is to set a date to quit smoking before beginning treatment with this drug. Begin taking varenicline as directed by your doctor, 1 to 2 weeks before the quit date. Take one 0.5-milligram tablet once a day for 3 days, then increase to one 0.5-milligram tablet twice a day for 4 days. The dose is slowly increased to lessen the chance of side effects (such as nausea, unusual dreams). It is okay to smoke during this time. Stop smoking on the quit date. Take the dose prescribed by your doctor twice a day for the rest of the treatment period (usually 12 weeks).
Another way to use Varenicline is to start taking the drug before you choose a date to quit smoking. Start with the 0.5-milligram tablets and increase the dose as directed by your doctor. Pick a date to quit smoking that is between days 8 and 35 of treatment. Stop smoking on the date you have chosen. Take the dose prescribed by your doctor for the rest of the treatment period.
If you are not able to pick a quit date, your doctor may direct you to start taking this medication and gradually reduce smoking to quit by the end of your treatment. Follow your doctor’s directions carefully and reduce smoking as directed.
