About Champix

How do I take Champix?
You should start to take Champix a week before you stop smoking- so before your start you should decide which date you want to stop.
When you begin the treatment you should take one tablet a day for the first three days, then one tablet twice a day for the rest of the course. We’ll send you full details on the dose and regime through your Patient Record before you start.
