Dosage Of Champix

Champix (Varenicline) has been manufactured by Pfizer for helping smokers kick off their smoking habit. It is widely recognized as a better alternative to the traditional smoking cessation treatments like nicotine patches and bupropion.

The recommended standard Champix dosage is 1 mg twice a day for 12 weeks as approved by the European Commission. To successfully quit smoking it is advisable to set a date from when you will quit. To help Champix work at its best, start taking the dosage seven days prior to the date you decide to stop smoking. You may be able to quit smoking forever, if you continue with another 12 weeks of treatment after the successful completion of the initial 12 week course.
