Champix: Just Another Name For Chantix
Are you aware of the fact that Champix is nothing but another name for the FDA approved quit smoking drug Chantix? Well, only a certain section of people around the world are acquainted with this fact and the other half who are really ignorant of the relationship between Chantix and Champix fall into utter perplexity when they get hold of Champix while looking for the quit smoking medicine Chantix. So, to inform you the real truth on Chantix as well as Champix, a couple of pointers are mentioned below:
- Varenicline Tartrate is the generic name of Chantix as well as Champix.
- Intially, Pfizer selected Champix as a brand name for Varenicline Tartrate but the Food and Drugs Administration, USA(FDA) rejected it citing that the name Champix is “overly fanciful and overstates the efficacy of the product” from the promotional point of view. As a consequence Pfizer changed the name to Chantix, obtained FDA approval for the drug on May 11,2006 and launched Chantix as an anti-smoking medicine in US under the same name.
- But the brand name Champix for Varenicline Tartrate was accepted by the European Commission a few months after the launching of Chantix in the pharmaceutical market and on September 29, 2006, the drug was relaunched as Champix in the European countries.
- On 14 th January, 2007 Champix was made available for sale as a prescription-based quit smoking medicine on the Scotland National Health Service(NHS).
