Zyban, A Very
Much Utilized Stop Smoking Prescription Drug
The most common stop smoking prescription
drug that your doctor will recommend using is the one known as
Zyban which is widely used in America and in some instances has
also been used to provide relief against depression. Zyban is a
good stop smoking prescription drug that was given FDA approval
in the year 1984 though later on it was withdrawn from the
market because of certain ill consequences related to its use
such as risking suffering from seizures.

However, its manufacturers, GlaxoSmithKline,
showed successfully that by reducing the amount of Zyban
consumed the risk of suffering from seizures could be reduced
to just an insignificant .4 percent. This led to the release
once more of Zyban in the year 1989 and again it obtained FDA
approval with recommended maximum dosage per day being about
four hundred and fifty milligrams.
In the year 1997, another stop smoking
prescription drug called Bupropion got FDA approval and three
years later, in the year 2000, even the UK authorities gave
approval to this drug. It has since been determined that
consuming Zyban in the recommended amounts will not put users
at risk of suffering seizures and this is why it has become a
very popular stop smoking prescription drug.
Why
Zyban Is A Popular Stop Smoking Prescription
Drug
The main reason why Zyban has become such a
popular stop smoking prescription drug is that its use will not
lead to experiencing sexual dysfunction; on the contrary, it
can even be used to treat cases of sexual dysfunction though
such usage has not been approved by the authorities.
What’s more, Zyban as well as other similar
stop smoking prescription drugs help the brain to produce or
control the depletion of a dopamine that is a ‘feel-good’
chemical found in a person’s brain. This chemical, when
produced by the brain, can lead to addiction to nicotine as
smokers will notice an increased production of dopamine in
their brains this in turn will make them crave more nicotine in
order to maintain the ‘feel-good’ effect.

Drug
However, as effective as Zyban is as a stop
smoking prescription drug, it is not entirely hundred percent
safe to use since some ill consequences of its intake have been
noticed including damaging the liver and increasing blood
pressure.
Unfortunately, quitting smoking is one of
the most difficult things to achieve because smokers will have
developed such a craving for nicotine that only the most
committed and dedicated of smokers are able to successfully
kick the habit. This, in spite of the fact that there is
several prescription stop
smoking aids available on the market that are worth
trying out.
When choosing a stop smoking prescription
drug you should first of all pay special attention to the
‘black box warnings’ on the bottles of Zyban because
indiscriminate usage of such stop smoking prescription drugs
can lead to suicidal thoughts as well as irrational
behavior.
