Chantix Continuing Pack contains the active ingredient varenicline. It is a prescription medication used to help adults quit smoking.

Smoking Cessation

Chantix helps reduce the urge to smoke and can make quitting easier.

It may help reduce:

  • Nicotine cravings
  • Withdrawal symptoms
  • The pleasurable effects of smoking

What Is the Chantix Continuing Pack?

Chantix treatment is commonly divided into a Starting Pack and a Continuing Pack.

The Starting Pack is used at the beginning of treatment. It contains different tablet strengths so the dose can be increased gradually during the first week.

The Continuing Pack is used after the starting phase. It usually contains the maintenance-strength tablets used for the remainder of treatment.

Your healthcare provider will tell you when to switch from the Starting Pack to the Continuing Pack and how long to continue treatment.

How Chantix Works

Chantix belongs to a group of medications called nicotinic receptor partial agonists.

It works on the same brain receptors that nicotine attaches to.

Chantix partly activates these receptors, which helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. At the same time, it blocks some of nicotine’s effects, so smoking may feel less satisfying.

Important Note

The Chantix Continuing Pack is not usually the first pack used when starting treatment.

It is intended to continue therapy after the initial dose-adjustment period, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

Chantix works best when combined with a quit-smoking plan that may also include counselling, support, and changes to daily habits.

Take Chantix exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

The Continuing Pack is usually used after the first week of treatment, once the starting dose has already been increased.

The usual continuing dose is 1 mg twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Take It After Eating

Take Chantix after eating with a full glass of water.

Taking it with food and water may help reduce nausea.

Try to take each dose at about the same times every day.

Starting Pack vs. Continuing Pack

The dose is usually increased gradually during the Starting Pack:

  • Days 1 to 3: 0.5 mg once daily
  • Days 4 to 7: 0.5 mg twice daily
  • Day 8 onward: 1 mg twice daily

The Continuing Pack contains 1 mg tablets and is used for the continuing weeks of treatment.

Choosing a Quit Date

There are different ways to use Chantix when quitting smoking.

You may choose a quit date and start Chantix 1 week before that date.

Another option is to start Chantix first and choose a quit date between days 8 and 35 of treatment.

Gradually Reducing Smoking

If you are not ready to stop smoking suddenly, your healthcare provider may recommend gradually reducing how much you smoke.

A common approach is to reduce smoking by about half during the first 4 weeks, reduce it by another half during the next 4 weeks, and aim to stop completely by the end of 12 weeks.

Treatment may then continue for another 12 weeks.

How Long Is Treatment?

A standard course of Chantix usually lasts 12 weeks.

If you successfully quit smoking, your healthcare provider may recommend another 12 weeks of treatment to help reduce the chance of relapse.

Do Not Change Your Dose on Your Own

Do not take more or less Chantix than prescribed.

If nausea, unusual dreams, insomnia, or other side effects become difficult to manage, contact your healthcare provider. Your dose may sometimes be reduced.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

Take the missed dose when you remember.

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Tell your healthcare provider if nausea, vomiting, or other stomach problems are severe or do not improve.

Seizures

Seizures have been reported in some people taking Chantix.

The risk may be higher if you have a history of seizures or other factors that make seizures more likely.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had a seizure.

Vision Changes

Chantix may sometimes cause blurred vision or other changes in eyesight.

Use caution with driving or other activities that require clear vision until you know how the medication affects you.

Driving and Operating Machinery

Chantix may cause dizziness, sleepiness, trouble concentrating, or other effects that can affect alertness.

Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Chantix should be used during pregnancy only when the expected benefit outweighs the possible risk.

Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.

It is not known whether varenicline passes into human breast milk in meaningful amounts.

Your healthcare provider can help decide whether Chantix is appropriate for you.

Can I use Chantix during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Chantix should only be used when your healthcare provider believes the expected benefit is greater than the possible risk.

When should I start using the Chantix Continuing Pack?

The Continuing Pack is usually started after the Chantix Starting Pack. The Starting Pack is used during the first week to gradually increase the dose. The Continuing Pack is then used for the maintenance phase of treatment. Your healthcare provider will tell you exactly when to switch packs.

How long does it take for Chantix to work?

Chantix begins working during the first days of treatment by reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Many people start Chantix before their planned quit date so the medication has time to take effect. The full benefit depends on taking it regularly and following your quit-smoking plan.

How long should I take Chantix?

A standard course of Chantix usually lasts 12 weeks. If you successfully quit smoking, your healthcare provider may recommend another 12 weeks to help reduce the chance of starting again.

Can Chantix cause weight gain?

Weight gain is not one of the most common side effects of Chantix. However, some people gain weight after quitting smoking because nicotine can affect appetite and metabolism. Tell your healthcare provider if you notice unexpected or concerning changes in your weight.
