Manufactured by Glaxo Wellcome, Zyban sustained release tablets offer smokers the first nicotine-free anti-smoking treatment and an entirely new way to help people quit.

"There is no better time than the present to declare your independance from nicotine.......Zyban is an important advance that will help people break this powerful addiction to cigarettes". Michael C Fiore, MD, Director of the Center of Tobacco Research and Intervention.

ZYBAN is the first nicotine-free pill approved to help you quit smoking and is available from your health care professional.

ZYBAN has helped many smokers, even those who have smoked 10 years or more, put down their cigarettes.

You start taking ZYBAN, set a quit date, and continue to smoke for up to 2 weeks. Most people should take ZYBAN for 7 to 12 weeks. When you stop smoking, continue to take ZYBAN as recommended by your health care professional. One pill 2 times a day can help you break free from smoking.

Assuming a pack of cigarettes costs $2.25, a year's worth of smoking one pack a day costs $821.25 ... 2 packs a day cost $1,642.50. ZYBAN costs less and is a far better investment in your future.

The most common side effects with ZYBAN include dry mouth and difficulty sleeping. There are other risks associated with the use of ZYBAN, so it is important to talk to your health care professional to see whether ZYBAN is right for you. There is a risk of seizure associated with ZYBAN, which is increased in certain patients. You should not take ZYBAN if you have a seizure disorder; are already taking any other medicines that contain bupropion HCl; have or have had an eating disorder; or are currently taking or have recently taken a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor.

ZYBAN is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
