Can Taking Champix Affect A Menstrual Cycle?
I ve been taking champix for 6 days now, still not quit smoking. My question is can the champix effect a menstrual cycle? I had a slight bleed two weeks ago which lasted less than two days. Very very light. Now my period is around a week late, the only pms symptom I have is tender breasts and bloated tummy.

Hello,
While chantix is just a blocker of the action of nicotine, stopping nicotine action is very likely to have multiple effects on anyone who smokes a moderate or large amount. Stress often has menstrual effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
