Does Champix (Chantix) Tablet Cause Sunburn?

Hi there,

I've been prescribed Champix (Chantix) to try to quit smoking. I should start taking pills today. However, I've read somewhere that Champix can cause sunburn. As I am going on a holiday to Greece next week (and of course I am going to sunbathe), is it safe to start with Chapix? Or should I postpone it till I come back from holiday?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,

Jasminka
