Directions
This medicine is to be taken orally, twice daily or as specified by your doctor who will set the dose according to your medical conditions. You can swallow it with or without food, but there must be an eight-hour gap between the treatments; this is done to decrease risks of seizures.

It is also recommended that you avoid discontinuing without your doctor’s supervision to help you quit smoking effectively.
This medication can be coupled with nicotine patches or gums to aid your withdrawal symptoms. You are directed to use this medication regularly for faster and optimal results.
