We offer two prescription medicines which are proven to be more successful than nicotine replacements or doing it alone. The medicines come in a tablet form and are easy to take. For the smoking conscious these treatments are more discreet than traditional NRT. The Family Chemist can help you choose the more appropriate treatment based on you medical and smoking history.
Champix works by blocking the effects of nicotine in your body. It reduces the cravings for nicotine and helps with the withdrawal symptoms you get when you stop smoking.
Zyban works with the chemicals in the brain (dopamine and norepinephrine) that are associated with nicotine addiction, cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Both treatments typically last 7-12 weeks.

The medications aren’t the magic bullet. Your will and determination are key to successfully quitting smoking.
