How long before the quit date should one start taking Varenicline (Chantix)?

1 week
2 weeks
3 days
1 day

The correct answer is: 1 week

For the NAPLEX exam, when considering the use of Varenicline (Chantix) to aid in smoking cessation, it is recommended to start taking the medication about 1 week before the planned quit date. This timing allows for the medication to reach effective levels in the body, which can help reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms when the individual stops smoking. Starting Varenicline earlier than 1 week may not provide optimal benefit, while starting it later may delay the desired effects. Therefore, starting Varenicline 1 week before the quit date is the most appropriate recommendation.
