[NPInfo] Chantix

[Jeff and Linda Bocchetto]

His physician should report this as an adverse event. I would give your rep a heads up in case the MD doesn't mention it.

  I had a “young“ 58 yo male pt die of a hemorrhagic stroke 3 days after
  starting Chantix.  He had many co-morbidities (not my pt but his wife is and
  he’s well known to our group- - used to see the doc I work with) but thought
  I’d poll the group in case others had anything like this.  Should I call the
  company?
  I know of the other se’s but couldn’t help but wonder if related somehow.

  Thanks,

  Priscilla Merrill FNP
