Champix is the brand name for Varenicline which is a medication that is used for stopping smoking and also for the treatment of dry eye syndrome.
Another brand name for Varenicline other than Champix is Chantix.
Varenicline is what replaces the previous branded pill called Champix, which was withdrawn as a precaution in 2021 when regulators had found an impurity.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adjusted very quickly in response to the halt in production of champix and Chantix (varenicline), and allowed for the distribution of a Canadian generic drug (available before July, 2021) throughout the USA within the same month.
The first FDA approved generic for Chantix and Champix became available in September, 2021
