Can Champix Affect The Menstrual Cycle?
Can champix affect your menstrual cycle. I m 43 and have been taking champix for 6 weeks, my last period (2 weeks ago) wasn t quite as usual with regards to the duration and flow. But my breasts continued to be tender as though pre menstrual for the last 2 weeks following my period and I came on again today....... Is it the champix or is it the menopause. I m usually as regular as clockwork? Thanks Sam

thank you for asking the question
you had started champix drug for 6 weeks. drug champix has many side effects. most common side effect is gastrointestinal symptoms. tenderness in breast and irregular menstruation is not the side effect of champix. you must consult your doctor regarding it and doctor guide you about menopause after thorough history and aided investigations. till that time continue with champix.
hope this will helpful to you.
