CHANTIX is the pill with the plan.
For most people, quitting smoking is both a physical and behavioral challenge – even with treatment. CHANTIX is the pill with the plan. It’s a two-part approach to quitting.
- CHANTIX can help address the physical side of quitting smoking. It can help reduce your urge to smoke.
- The GETQUIT™ Support Plan is designed to help you think and act like a quitter. In just minutes a day with GETQUIT, you learn real-life strategies and do simple activities that were developed to help you get past the urge to smoke.
GETQUIT was developed specifically to work with the recommended 12 weeks of CHANTIX treatment, and it offers continued support for up to a full year. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recognizes the need for behavioral support. Research has shown that medication combined with support is more effective in quitting smoking than using medication alone.
GETQUIT comes with your CHANTIX prescription at no extra cost. To learn more about how you can sign up, visit the GETQUIT Support Plan section.
