Efficacy of varenicline, an [alpha]4[beta]2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist vs placebo or sustained-release bupropion for smoking cessation: A randomized controlled trial

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the efficiency and safety of varenicline for smoking cessation compared with placebo or sustained release bupropion (bupropion SR). Varenicline was found to be efficacious, safe and well-tolerated cessation pharmacotherapy and its short-term and long-term efficacy exceeded that of both placebo and bupropion SR.
