The drugs of indigotine help to stop smoking

British researchers have tested the effectiveness of the drug to quit smoking The results show that it is as effective as other drugs, but the price is lower Researchers from University College London and other institutions reported in a new issue of the New England Journal of medicine that they tested more than 700 people who smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day Smokers were randomly divided into two groups: one group took the drug for 25 days according to the treatment plan, and the other group as the control group only received the ordinary placebo treatment for 25 days To avoid the influence of other factors, they did not use other smoking cessation methods during the trial A survey conducted one year after the end of the course showed that 8.4% of the patients in the group taking the drug had successfully quit smoking, compared with 2.4% in the control group This proves that the effectiveness of using wild indigo base to help quit smoking is equivalent to that of other quit smoking drugs on the market However, the price of the drug is better It is estimated that the drug price for 25 day treatment is about 12 pounds (1 pound is about $1.63), while the common smoking cessation drug such as Changpei costs more than 100 pounds for 12 weeks It is also known as genistein It has been used as a smoking cessation drug in some Eastern European countries for many years, and no serious side effects have been found However, there has been a lack of rigorous and formal scientific tests to verify its effectiveness Therefore, it has not been approved for marketing in the UK and other countries with strict medical management.
