Zyban was originally approved as an anti-depressant. A trial of this drug as an aid to quitting smoking [which was sponsored by the drug's manufacturer] found that about 30% of "committed quitters" given a single course of treatment were able to give up smoking.
Since coming into use as a quit smoking aid there has been a much increased overall demand for Zylan. This has led to an increase in reports of side effects, which include dizziness and convulsions, skin rashes, nausea and breathlessness. There have been 18 deaths in the UK so far which may be linked to the use of Zylan. Investigations into these are continuing.
Caveat Emptor.
