How long can a patient take CHANTIX?
Most people will take CHANTIX for up to 12 weeks. If you have completely quit smoking by 12 weeks, your healthcare provider may prescribe CHANTIX for another 12 weeks to help you stay cigarette-free. Take CHANTIX after eating and with a full glass (8 ounces) of water.
Does Chantix work immediately?
Chantix is a pill that you take with a large glass of water. Your doctor will tell you how often and what dose to take. It takes at least one week to work, and for some people even longer.
How many times can you take CHANTIX?
Do not take more than 1 milligram twice a day. Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. Tell your doctor if you continue to smoke after a few weeks of treatment.
Can I stop CHANTIX suddenly?
In some cases, a short tapering off of the dose over a week or so may be helpful. This is because at the end of treatment, if the medicine is stopped abruptly, about 3 in 100 people experience an increase in irritability, an urge to smoke, depression, and/or sleeping difficulty for a short time.
