Press Release Body = Champix tablets contain the active ingredient varenicline,
which is a medicine used to help people who are addicted to nicotine to give up
smoking. It acts in the brain, but is not the same as nicotine replacement therapy.
Varenicline is a type of medicine called a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial
agonist. This means that it acts on the same receptors in the brain as nicotine
does.

The approval of Champix (varenicline) was based on the comprehensive clinical trial
program including four pivotal trials involving approximately 4,500 cigarette
smokers.

Varenicline works by stimulating the nicotinic receptors in the brain. This produces
an effect that relieves the craving and withdrawal symptoms you can get when you
stop smoking. At the same time, varenicline blocks nicotine from acting on the
receptors. This prevents any nicotine inhaled in tobacco smoke from having a
rewarding and enjoyable effect. However, it is recommended that you don't smoke
while you are taking this medicine.For more visit : http://www.champix.virtuale.org
