FAQs

  • How does Cytisine help with smoking cessation?
    Cytisine mimics the effects of nicotine by binding to the same receptors in the brain. However, it does so in a weaker way, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms while helping users break the habit of smoking.

  • How long is the Cytisine treatment plan?
    The standard course of Cytisine treatment is 25 days, with a structured dosage that gradually reduces over time. This allows the user to taper off their nicotine dependency.

  • Is Cytisine safe to use?
    Cytisine has been shown to be safe and effective when used as directed. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider before starting treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

  • Can I use Cytisine if I’ve tried to quit smoking before and failed?
    Yes, Cytisine is suitable for individuals who have previously tried to quit smoking but have not succeeded. It can be used alone or alongside behavioral support for improved chances of quitting.

  • Can I continue smoking while taking Cytisine?
    The goal of Cytisine treatment is to help you quit smoking, so it is recommended to stop smoking by Day 5 of the treatment plan. Continuing to smoke while using Cytisine may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
