How it works
Inhibits reuptake of dopamine and noradrenaline, partially mimicking the dopaminergic reward of nicotine. Also acts as a nicotinic receptor antagonist, weakening the reinforcing effect of smoking.
Prescription only. Contraindicated in eating disorders, seizure disorders, and recent MAOI use. Reduces seizure threshold. Not as effective as varenicline but a useful option when varenicline is not tolerated.
