Medical Treatments for Tobacco, Smoking and Nicotine Addiction
A number of medical treatments exist to help adults quit their smoking / nicotine addictions. However, myaddiction.com does not make treatment recommendations nor dispense medical advice; only a physician is qualified to determine the proper treatment for any patient. We present the following information for general education purposes only.
- CHANTIXTM for smoking cessation: CHANTIX (varenicline) is an orally administered prescription medication designed specifically to help adults quit smoking. It does not contain nicotine. However, it binds to some of the same nicotinic receptors in the brain as nicotine, and it blocks nicotine's ability to attach to these receptors. CHANTIX can be prescribed by any licensed physician.
- ZYBAN® for smoking cessation: ZYBAN (bupropion hydrochloride) is an orally administered prescription medication that has been found to help adults quit smoking. It does not contain nicotine. Currently it is not known precisely how or why ZYBAN has proven effective for some people in smoking cessation. ZYBAN can be prescribed by any licensed physician.
