Indications & Clinical Uses

Cytisine is primarily used to aid smoking cessation by reducing nicotine withdrawal symptoms. It acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which are involved in the addictive process of smoking.

  • Smoking cessation: Helps individuals quit smoking by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
  • Nicotine dependence: Assists in managing the physical dependence on nicotine.
  • Smoking cessation support: Provides a structured treatment plan to help individuals stop smoking.

How It Works

  • Cytisinicline acts as a partial agonist at α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. By binding to these receptors, it reduces the severity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms and decreases the rewarding effects of nicotine, thereby aiding in smoking cessation. This dual action helps individuals gradually reduce their dependence on nicotine.
