Cytisine contained in Desmoxane acts similarly to nicotine. Because of this similarity, when it is absorbed into the body, it behaves like a "substitute" for nicotine. It binds to the same receptors, blocking access to nicotine. In this way, it reduces the symptoms of nicotine hunger and nicotine addiction.
The drug is used to treat nicotine addiction. The use of Desmoxan allows you to achieve a gradual reduction in the body's dependence on nicotine and weaning from smoking without nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
The ultimate goal of using Desmoxan is to permanently stop using nicotine-containing products.
