Dear all
How has unavailability of Champix, brand name of varenicline - now on the WHO Essential Medicines List - affected tobacco cessation in your country? Is generic varenicline available? It seems from a large US dataset that use has significantly reduced, and awareness of generic varenicline may be low. If so, this is a backwards step in supporting quit attempts. It would be good to share positive stories.
