HOW CITIDARON® WORKS
• CITIDARON® is a partial agonist of the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor 1
• CITIDARON® competes with nicotine for the same receptors and gradually displaces nicotine due to its stronger binding. It has lower ability to stimulate nicotinic receptors 1
• It prevents nicotine-dependent full activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system and moderately increases level of dopamine in the brain. This alleviates the central symptoms of nicotine withdrawal 1
• In the peripheral nervous system, it influences breathing, catecholamine secretion, and blood pressure and helps mitigate peripheral symptoms of nicotine withdrawal 1
