Varenicline Tartrate

Varenicline Tartrate is a non-nicotine prescription tablet develop specifically to help people quit smoking. It helps smokers give up on smoking and is suitable for smokers 18 years and above.

Smoking addiction is both psychological and physical. You become addicted the nicotine. When you smoke, the nicotine receptors in your brain quickly become switched on, which drive the smoker’s brain to crave for more cigars. When you quit, your addiction causes real withdrawal symptoms. Smoking addiction is also psychological because smoking becomes part of your daily routine. So cutting down on this routine means you also have to change your daily habits.

Varenicline a partial nicotinic agonist that acts on the sites in the brain most affected by nicotine. It helps smokers quit in two ways:

1. It partially stimulates the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain that are affected by nicotine which gives smokers mild-nicotinic-like effects. This produces an effect that will help relieve your cravings and withdrawal symptoms you get when you stop smoking. However, it is not the same as nicotine replacement therapy.
2. It can stop nicotine from attaching to the nicotine receptors while you are smoking. This prevents any nicotine that you’ve inhaled from having a rewarding and enjoyable effect.
