I am a smoker who takes high blood pressure medicine, cholesterol lowering statin and anxiety medication. i would like to quit smoking so I ordered a product called TBX-FREE, which has a active ingredient of Laburnum Anagyroids 1X. I want to know if I can take with no interactions to my prescribed medications?
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. If you want to stop smoking, several different treatments are available to help you beat your addiction and reduce withdrawal symptoms. The main options are: 1)Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT),It's available as:skin patches,chewing gum,inhalators (which look like plastic cigarettes),tablets, oral strips and lozenges,nasal and mouth spray 2)Varenicline,(brand name Champix) is a medication that works in two ways. It reduces cravings for nicotine like NRT, but it also blocks the rewarding and reinforcing effects of smoking. 3)E-cigarette,is an electronic device that delivers nicotine in a vapour. This allows you to inhale nicotine without most of the harmful effects of smoking. Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
