What is varenicline? Varenicline, sold under the brand Chantix, is a medication used in helping people with smoking cessation. Varenicline belongs to a class of medications known as nicotinic receptor partial agonists. Said another way, varenicline binds to special acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system, partially stimulating them while simultaneously blocking nicotine from exerting its effect on them. Following oral administration, varenicline reaches peak levels in approximately four hours in most healthy people with systemic availability in the 90% range.
