IS THE FDA'S INVESTIGATION OF CHANTIX (VARENICLINE) TOO LITTLE TO LATE?

FREE DOWNLOAD: My Chantix notes.

A reader asks a question regarding Chantix use:

I suffered a heart attack in July and am in Category 1 heart failure. Is it safe for me to use Chantix?

To this reader first of all I would say congratulations on your decision to quit smoking.



Quitting smoking is the number one thing anybody could do to improve their health. Now regarding Chantix and heart failure I would first suggest that you talk with a physician before taking any medication.



In your case in particular since you had a heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI) just four months ago. You are probably already taking many medicines since your heart attack all of which may interact with other medications.



So it is important that this careful balancing act be choreographed by a trained professional who knows the risk and can work with you to bring about the best results possible.
