Speak to your doctor about whether another course of Varnitrip 1 Tablet will be right for you. Another course can only be started if you are motivated to quit smoking and were not able to do so during prior Varnitrip 1 Tablet treatment for reasons other than side effects or you returned to smoking after quitting.
