COMPOSITION:
Cytisine 1.5 mg in one filmtablet

ACTION:
Tabex contains the alkaloid which has a similar mechanism of action as nicotine but differs from it in its broad therapeutic index.
Cytisine has an N-cholinomimetic action and excites the vegetative nerve ganglia, stimulates respiration predominantly through the reflexes, induces epinephrine release from the medullar part of the suprarenal gland. In higher doses it has an N-cholinolytic effect on the vegetative ganglia. Cytisine plays the role of nicotine-substituting substance, thus it reduces the period of interaction of nicotine with the respective receptors. That, on its part, leads to a gradual reduction and interruption of the existing psychological addiction of smokers to nicotine. Tabex is easily tolerated by the patients because it does not cause loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting or any other undesired effects. The treatment course is consistent with the gradual giving up of smoking, thus avoiding abstinence phenomena.

In order to attain a lasting result, the patients should avoid smoking even one cigarette after the end of the treatment course.
