Cardiovascular Events and Chantix®
Within the past few years the FDA has issued releases notifying the public of the dangers associated with the use of the drug Chantix®. The drug has been marketed by Pfizer since 2006 as a safe prescription medication to help smoking addiction. Unfortunately, there are a number of serious and life-threatening side effects from the use of the drug.
The result of the FDA 12-week clinical trial showed that the group of Chantix® users was two times more likely to require coronary revascularization than patients who were treated with a placebo. While Chantix® was effective in helping patients quit smoking, the adverse events such as heart attack, sudden death, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure and stroke were more frequent in Chantix® users.
