Cytisine Smoking Cessation Tablets

Cytisine Smoking Cessation Tablets are a plant-based medicine used to help people stop smoking. Cytisine works by binding to nicotine receptors in the brain, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms while blocking the rewarding effects of smoking. This helps make quitting easier by lessening the urge to smoke and decreasing the pleasure from cigarettes if you do smoke during treatment. The tablets are taken over a structured course, with the dosage gradually reduced over several weeks. Cytisine offers an effective, non-nicotine option for smoking cessation and is most successful when combined with determination and behavioural support.
