CHANTIX Information
CHANTIX InformationChantix is the first new prescription medication approved for stop smoking habit nearly a decade, which received a very good review designation by the FDA because of its potential to be a significant therapeutic advance over existing therapies. Chantix is the fourth new Pfizer medicine to get approved by the FDA.gov in year 2006. Chantix's approval was based on a comprehensive clinical trial program including four pivotal trials involving more than 2,000 cigarette smokers. Subjects on average had smoked about 21 cigarettes per day for an average of approximately 25 years. In two identically designed studies, patients receiving a 12-week course of Chantix therapy (1 mg twice daily) nearly quadrupled the likelihood of quitting than those taking placebo and had nearly twice the likelihood of quitting than those patients taking buproprion (150 mg twice daily), after the 12-week course of therapy. Enrolled patients were provided with educational materials. Patients were followed for an additional 40 weeks without treatment. After one year, approximately one-in-five patients who received the 12-week course of Chantix remained smoke-free. For those patients who quit at the end of 12 weeks, an additional course of 12 weeks treatment with Chantix resulted in a greater likelihood of long-term success in quitting smoking. According to scientist and FDA Chantix is now the best proven medication for Stop Smoking !!! |
