Millions of people, including many North Basin Medical Clinics patients, are getting great results with the smoking cessation medication CHANTIX. In fact, Pfizer Pharmaceutical cites a 44 percent success rate after just three weeks using this prescription method.
How does CHANTIX work? It blocks the “pleasure center” in the brain that gives you the nicotine rush when you light up. Without that rush, the body doesn’t want cigarettes anymore.
CHANTIX has its own support plan called “GET QUIT”. Not only is there a 24-hour hotline, but you can sign up for e-mail or telephone contact with a support expert!
How to get started…
