Tabex is an oral smoking-cessation aid containing cytisine 1.5 mg per tablet, a naturally derived plant alkaloid used to help people reduce nicotine dependence and support quitting smoking. It has been licensed and used in parts of Eastern and Central Europe for decades. Cytisine acts as a partial agonist at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain — particularly the α4β2 subtype. By binding to these receptors, cytisine helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms when quitting smoking, making it easier to stop tobacco use. Indications Support for quitting smoking and reducing nicotine dependence Chronic nicotinism / tobacco dependence support How It WorksCytisine mimics some effects of nicotine on brain receptors but with lower intensity and toxicity, reducing urges to smoke and helping ease withdrawal. How to UseTypically taken according to a structured tapering scheme over ~25 days, gradually reducing the number of tablets daily. An example schedule used in clinical practice begins with more frequent dosing early on and tapers down for the remainder of treatment. Always follow your doctor’s instructions or the package leaflet.
