Chantix

What is Chantix?

Chantix, manufactured by Pfizer, was the first nicotine receptor partial agonist—a smoking cessation drug—approved by the FDA.

Who takes it, and for what condition?

Smokers who are attempting to quit and who have not been successful using other methods take Chantix.

How does Chantix work?

Chantix blocks the body’s nicotine receptors, reducing nicotine cravings and the enjoyment of cigarettes.

Some Chantix patients reported that they experienced strange side effects, including erratic behavior, suicidal thoughts, and depression. In 2009, the FDA required Pfizer to place a Black Box Warning on the product explaining the risk of suicide and mental health problems.
