DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1
USUAL DOSAGE FOR ADULTS
Smoking cessation therapies are more likely to succeed for patients
who are motivated to stop smoking
and who are provided additional advice and support. Provide patients
with appropriate educational

one week before this date.
Alternatively, the patient can begin CHAMPIX dosing and then quit
smoking between days 8 and 35 of
treatment.
CHAMPIX should be taken orally after eating and with a full glass of
water.
The recommended dose of CHAMPIX is 1 mg 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

abstinence.
For patients who are sure that they are not able or willing to quit
abruptly, consider a gradual approach to
quitting smoking with CHAMPIX. Patients should begin CHAMPIX dosing
and reduce smoking by 50%
from baseline within the first four weeks, by an additional 50% in the
next four weeks, and continu
