POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 1 mg varenicline twice daily following a
1-week titration as follows:
Days 1 – 3:
0.5 mg once daily
Days 4 – 7:
0.5 mg twice daily
Day 8 – End of treatment:
1 mg twice daily
The patient should set a date to stop smoking. CHAMPIX dosing should
usually start at 1-2 weeks
before this date (see section 5.1). Patients should be treated with
CHAMPIX for 12 weeks.
For patients who have successfully stopped smoking at the end of 12
weeks, an additional course of
12 weeks treatment with CHAMPIX at 1 mg twice daily may be considered
for the maintenance of
abstinence (see section 5.1).
A gradual approach to quitting smoking with CHAMPIX should be
considered for patients who are
not able or willing to quit abruptly. Patients should reduce smoking
during the first 12 weeks of
treatment and quit by the end of that treatment period. Patients
should then continue taking CHAMPIX
for an additional 12 weeks for a total of 24 weeks of treatment (see
section 5.1).
Patients who are motivated to quit and who did not succeed in stopping
smoking during prior
CHAMPIX therapy, or who relapsed after treatment, may benefit from
another quit attempt with
CHAMPIX (see section 5.1).
Patients who cannot tolerate adverse reactions of CHAMPIX may have the
dose lowered temporarily
or permanently to 0.5 mg twice daily.
