Buy Varenicline Tablets

Varenicline Tablets are used to help adults stop smoking. They are nicotine-free tablets designed to help you quit for good.

 

How Varenciline Tablets work

Varenicline Tablets contain the active substance varenicline. It works by reducing the craving for nicotine and helping combat withdrawal symptoms.

Varenicline can also reduce the enjoyment of cigarettes/tobacco if you smoke when taking the tablets.

 

Directions

Always take Varenicline Tablets exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.

Before you start your treatment, you should select a date in the second week of treatment when you will stop smoking. If you cannot set a date within 2 weeks, you may choose your own target quit date within 5 weeks of starting the treatment. You should write your selected date on the pack as a reminder. 

Varenicline comes in two tablets: a white tablet (0.5mg) and a blue tablet (1mg). You start by taking the white tablet and then move to the blue tablet.

 

Side effects

Like all medicines, Varenicline Tablets may cause side effects in some people, but these won’t affect everybody. Common side effects may include: 

 

  • Inflammation of the nose and throat
  • Abnormal dreams 
  • Difficulty sleeping 
  • Headaches 
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Chest infection and inflammation of the sinuses 
  • Increased weight 
  • Increased or decreased appetite 
  • Sleepiness
  • Dizziness
  • Changes in the way things taste
  • Shortness of breath 
  • Cough 
  • Heartburn 

 

For more information on potential side effects, refer to the patient information leaflet. If you experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.

 

Serious side effects

Seek emergency medical attention if you notice any signs of a severe allergic reaction, symptoms of which include swelling of the face and throat, skin rash, breathing difficulties and/or loss of consciousness. 

Although rare, there have been reports of depression, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts in patients taking Varenicline. If you develop suicidal thoughts or behaviours, you should stop taking this medication straight away and contact your doctor immediately for a treatment assessment.

 

Warnings

Varenicline Tablets may be unsuitable for certain people. Do not take these tablets if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

Talk to your doctor or Chemist4U pharmacist before taking this medicine if: 

 

  • You have a history of a psychiatric disorder
