You should also make certain your doctor is aware of all drugs you are taking, especially tranquilizers, anti-psychotics, or antidepressants.
If you have a history of overactive thyroid, enlarged prostate, liver, kidney or heart disease, glaucoma, or difficulty urinating, tell your doctor.
If you are pregnant or may become pregnant, talk to your doctor about Zyban therapy. Those who are breastfeeding should also discuss this with their physicians.

Zyban Missed Dose? |

Those whose prescriptions are for more than one Zyban per day should take any forgotten doses as soon as they remember. This is true unless it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, in which case you should just skip the missed dose and continue the usual dosage schedule.
Those whose prescriptions are for one Zyban tablet at bedtime should not try to make up missed doses. Never double dose - just continue with your next scheduled dose. |
|
|
Zyban Storage? |
|
| |
Zyban, and all other medications, should stay tightly sealed in their original container. Make sure it's out of the reach of children. A proper storage location is at room temperature and away from heat and moisture found in places like kitchens and bathrooms. Don't keep pills that are expired or that you don't need. Ask your pharmacist about proper disposal techniques. |

Anything Else I Should Know About Zyban? |
|
| |
Health insurance plans sometimes cover the costs of smoking cessation treatments. Check your policy to see if your Zyban costs can be covered. If not, it's still worth the money, since it's better for you both physically and financially in the long run. A pack a day habit costs you .095 per year, which makes Zyban a better financial choice.
Certain brain chemicals called norepinephrine and dopamine are responsible for mood. If these chemicals get out of balance, you can experience depression. Zyban works to keep these chemicals in balance and cut out the symptoms of depression. |
