Chantix was developed by Pfizer as a smoking cessation aid. It was approved for use in 2006. Chantix contains the ingredient varenicline, which works to both reduce cravings for nicotine and to dull the pleasurable effects of consuming nicotine. Taken in pill form, Chantix is indicated for individuals addicted to smoking and hoping to stop. Smoking need not entirely be stopped as a prerequisite to beginning Chanitx. The varenicline ingredient in Chantix interferes with the process through which nicotine normally stimulates the nervous system, reducing the craving for and pleasure of nicotine consumption.

Soon after its introduction to the market, Chantix users began to report side effects. The less common, more severe side effects were cause for the most concern. Reports of depression, mania, anger and aggression, confusion, and even suicidal thoughts and behavior became known. Some agencies began to ban the use of Chantix by employees for fear of the impact of the potential changes in thought and behavior.

Chantix side effects attorneys meet with Chantix users who have experienced far more than the help with smoking cessation that they hoped for. Depression, anger, and suicidal behavior and ideation were initially suspected of being related to the nicotine withdrawal that accompanies any smoking reduction/cessation program. The FDA, however, eventually determined that the side effects of Chantix were serious enough to warrant a Black Box warning, the most serious regulatory warning the FDA gives.

Chantix is a stop-smoking aid developed and marketed by Pfizer. The active ingredient in Chantix is varenicline, usually in the form of varenicline tartrate. Chantix is indicated for (recommended for) smoking cessation and is taken as a pill. Smoking need not be entirely stopped before Chantix is begun. The varenicline in Chantix interferes with the process by which nicotine stimulates the nervous system. Through this process, Chantix works to reduce both nicotine cravings and the pleasurable effects of nicotine when ingested.

Chantix side effects have made almost as much news as the intended effects. Chantix side effects attorneys have met with Chantix users who have reported side effects ranging from unpleasant to dangerous. The more common Chantix side effects include nausea and vomiting, disruption of sleep patterns and strange dreams. Less common but of far greater concern are side effects such as hostility and aggression, depression and suicidal thoughts. Anger, mania, hallucinations, paranoia, confusion and other psychiatric and emotional problems have also been reported.

After its release in 2006, controversy and publicity around previously unrecognized symptoms of Chantix began to circulate. This awareness continued to grow as more and more cases of serious Chantix side effects came to light. While there was initially some thinking that nicotine withdrawal could explain some of the psychiatric and emotional symptoms, the FDA eventually mandated a Black Box warning, the strongest it can give, for Chantix.

If you have taken Chantix to stop smoking and have experience side effects, you should speak to a Chantix side effects attorney about your case. The potential dangers of serious Chantix side effects have been well-documented and should be taken seriously.

Chantix is indicated (recommended) for smoking addiction. It was developed and approved by Pfizer in 2006. Chantix works to affect smoking addiction through the active ingredient varenicline, which affects the stimulation of the nervous system by nicotine. Individuals struggling to quit smoking in the face of nicotine addiction may begin taking Chantix before entirely stopping smoking. Taken in a pill form, Chantix works by blocking some of the chemical interaction of nicotine with the nervous system, thereby muting both the pleasure of consuming nicotine and the cravings of abstaining.

Chantix was introduced to the market in 2006. Soon after, reports of serious side effects began to come to light.
