About Zyban

ZYBAN is a non-nicotine, prescription-strength medication to help you quit smoking. While it's unclear exactly how ZYBAN works, ZYBAN is thought to work on the chemicals in the brain. It helps reduce the urge to smoke, and lessens symptoms of withdrawal.

Your chances of quitting with ZYBAN greatly depend on your commitment to quitting. In one medical study using patient support materials and drug therapy, ZYBAN helped more smokers quit for 4 weeks than the nicotine patch.

It is important to participate in the behavioral program, counseling, or other support program your health care professional recommends. ZYBAN and the ZYBAN Advantage Plan are used as part of this comprehensive smoking cessation treatment program.

About twice the number of smokers who take bupropion stop smoking compared to those who don't. Up to 1 in 5 smokers who really want to stop will do it with the help of bupropion. (This is about the same success rate as using nicotine replacement therapy such as nicotine gum.)
