MANUFACTURER: Pfizer, Inc.

OVERVIEW: Chantix (varenicline) is a prescription medication approved to help people quit smoking. It was approved in 2006 and has quickly become a very popular medication for people who have had a difficult time breaking their smoking addiction. By blocking the receptors commonly stimulated by nicotine, Chantix reduces the positive feelings that come from cigarettes.

In November 2007, the FDA issued an early communication regarding an emerging safety concern which linked the use of Chantix to reports of suicides, suicidal thoughts and sudden changes in behavior. In February 2008, the FDA issued a statement which suggested that their evaluation indicates it is “increasingly likely that there may be an association between Chantix and serious neuropsychiatric symptoms.”

When Chantix was introduced, Pfizer failed to adequately research their medication or provide adequate warnings to users and the medical community about the potential side effects which could increase the risk of suicide or unusual behavior changes. Following hundreds of reported problems, information was added to the warning label about the psychiatric side effects and users are now provided with a medication guide outlining the risks that could be associated with the use of Chantix.

• Suicide
• Attempted Suicide
• Sudden Aggressive Behavior
