Zyban Information:

Zyban is a popular drug for smokers to help them quit their habit with ease. It enhances the intensity of many compound messengers in your nervous system. Since these chemicals increase in your brain, it decreases nicotine and you feel decreased cravings for cigarettes. It is also recommended for people who have issues such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, as it aids them in their chances of quitting smoking.

In contrast to the actions of nicotine patches or nicotine gums, Zyban does not introduce more nicotine into your body. In the case where you use nicotine patches or gum, you must give up smoking to avoid overdosing on nicotine. However, if you use Zyban, you can continue smoking when you start this drug and gradually you reach a quit-date; you then need to continue the medicine for some time after quitting smoking.

Zyban requires almost a week to reach a significant level of effectiveness within your body. Owing to this reason (and for a better outcome), you should not try to stop smoking until the second week of taking the drug.

In the light of clinical trial reports, Zyban lessens withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, frustration, anger, anxiety, difficulty in concentrating, restlessness or depression. According to these reports, treatment with Zyban proved to be very effective - and it greatly helps in controlling cravings for cigarettes.

The recommended dosage for Zyban is a single 150 mg tablet once every morning for the first 3 days, followed by one 150 mg tablet in the morning and then a second in the evening. You should remember that the time gap between two dosages should be at least 8 hours. The upper limit recommended dosage for Zyban is 300 mg everyday. You need to swallow the whole tablet without chewing, dividing or crushing it.

Zyban can result in certain side effects, like all medications. As officially mentioned on Zyban’s site, some of the common side effects of Zyban are a dry mouth and difficulty in sleeping. Apart from these, there are some other side effects with this drug. For these reasons, it is recommended to take this medication in consultation with your doctor, to avoid any issues.
 
Zyban needs to be administered with vigilance with respect to patients who have suffered seizures or cranial trauma.
You must keep in mind that Zyban contains the same ingredients as in Wellbutrin and Wellbutrin SR, which are anti-depressant medications. Therefore, Zyban must not be taken along with these drugs.
