Cytisine 1.5mg tablets, a proven and well tolerated medication derived from a plant alkaloid with a structure akin to nicotine, is now accessible in the UK as a promising solution for people looking to quit smoking. It acts as a nicotine receptor partial agonist, binding to the same receptors responsible for nicotine dependence. This stimulates the release of dopamine, similar to nicotine, while also preventing nicotine from binding to the receptor. This dual action is said to help alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms and reduce the rewarding effects of tobacco.Cytisine is available from all main wholesalers from January 22.
