Is Champix Safe To Have During Pregnancy?
Hi there I have been taking champix stop smoking drug now for three weeks but I have started having pregnancy symptoms. I am 29 years old and not too sure if champix would have damaged the baby if I am pregnant. Can you give any advice please. My period is due in five days. Many thanks

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.
I would like to tell you that there are no controlled trials which confirm the safety of champix in pregnancy.
It is advised to use this drug only if it is extremely required. US FDA has placed this drug in ctaegory C.
In simple language, avoid it during pregnancy.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
