Drug for quitting smoking - big no for pilots?
Ok, so i want to quit smoking now. It has been enough.
There's this drug called bupropion which has helped lots people to quit smoking. But it's a psychotropic, so i guess it will show on the medical exam, and since it's a treatment, i reckon u would have to take it on a daily basis, leaving you unfit to fly.
There is this other new medication. It's called Champix. Apparently it's completely different than the other one. Has better results, and does not induce the secondary effects that the other one does.
Anyone has any information on whether we can use those prescription medications? Would they interfere with the medical standards we have to comply with?.
If we can, i think all the smokers here should give it a try!
Thanks.
