Chantix® and Hepatitis

Chantix® is a prescription drug by Pfizer that was designed to block the effects of nicotine in the brain and thus help patients quit smoking. Some users of Chantix® have developed hepatitis, although it is not known whether or how the Chantix® treatment caused the hepatitis.

Chantix®: Very Serious Side Effects

However, it is known that Chantix® is a dangerous drug. Chantix® was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2006, and by the fourth quarter of 2007, Chantix® “accounted for more reports of serious drug adverse events in the U.S. than any other drug,” according to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating consumers and healthcare professionals about safe medication practices.

Hepatitis Symptoms

The term “hepatitis” means inflamed liver. Some drugs are toxic to the liver, and they may cause hepatitis. The symptoms of hepatitis include:

• abdominal pain
• diarrhea
• fatigue
• headache
• jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes )
• loss of appetite
• low-grade fever
• nausea and vomiting

On the other hand, some people who have hepatitis show no symptoms at all. Contact a physician if you are taking Chantix® and are experiencing any troublesome side effects or have concerns about the risk of hepatitis.

Millions Have Tried Chantix®

Pfizer has stated that some five million people around the world have been treated with Chantix®, and the ISMP estimates that this number includes about 3.5 million people in the U.S. The sales of Chantix® in the U.S. dropped by 35® since an early 2008 revision of the Chantix® package warning — required by the FDA — noting some potentially life-threatening side effects of Chantix®.
