We understand the importance of quitting smoking for countless health reasons at Oxford Online Pharmacy, so we are pleased to offer a stop-smoking service.

Stopping smoking is a challenge. The biological addiction to nicotine, the temptation of a psychological addiction and a set smoking ‘routine’ can make quitting difficult. However, with help from our healthcare professionals, you can buy stop-smoking medication and treatments that can increase your chance of quitting, helping you enjoy a smoke-free life.

You can contact a healthcare team member to learn more about our stop-smoking service and treatments.

How to stop smoking?

Around 40% of smokers will die from a smoking-related illness, so if you really want to quit smoking, then our online pharmacy can help.

You are four times more likely to quit smoking with a medicine that blocks the effects of nicotine on the brain.

Nicotine is a drug that stimulates the brain, as a regular smoker, you will notice withdrawal symptoms when your blood level of nicotine falls. This may leave you feeling irritable, restless, anxious or hungry.

How long does it take to stop smoking?

While it may take up to three months for your brain chemistry to return to normal, cravings typically begin to fade in strength and frequency during the first week and are gone entirely in one to three months after you stop smoking.

What happens when you stop smoking?

There are endless benefits of quitting smoking with our stop smoking tablets, so what happens to your body when you stop smoking?

You will notice several health benefits of giving up smoking within days:

  • Improved sense of smell and taste
  • Lower your risk of heart attack, stroke and lung cancer
  • Improvements in blood pressure, asthma, diabetes and circulation
  • Younger-looking skin and whiter teeth
  • Improved fertility

Some people worry that if they stop smoking, they will put on weight. There may be a few added pounds in practice, but the benefits of an improved healthy lifestyle and added fitness can quickly prevent this problem. Simply do more exercise, as two and a half hours of exercise per week is recommended for the average adult.

How to order stop-smoking treatments?

You can order Varenicline (generic Champix) through the online doctor's service at Oxford Online Pharmacy.

We offer a free online consultation with a GMC-registered doctor. If you are approved, the doctor will provide you with a private prescription for stop-smoking medications.

Why is Champix out of stock?

In June 2021, Champix tablets were recalled because they contained a nitrosamine impurity. Specifically, they were found to have excessive levels of N-nitroso-varenicline, exceeding the EU's permissible limits for consumption.

Due to these findings, Glaxo SmithKline (GSK) tested another stop-smoking medicine, called bupropion (Zyban), for the presence of nitrosamine impurities, and the results show that there is a possibility of impurities.

As a result, on December 1, 2022, GSK stopped the batch release and distribution of Zyban 150 mg prolonged-release tablets.

Generic Champix tablets, which contain the active ingredient Varenicline, have recently been introduced to the market. The MHRA has approved their use as safe, and they can be purchased online from Oxford Online Pharmacy.

If you have questions or concerns and need more information, please call us at 01295 262925. Alternatively, you can email us at [email protected], and we will respond as soon as possible.
