Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health, but it’s easier said than done. Even with the right mindset and determination, willpower alone simply isn’t always enough to overcome the desire to light up. That’s when you need a little extra support to help you go the distance.

Belnifrem is a highly effective, non-nicotine-based treatment which can stop you slipping back into old habits and make sure you stay cigarette free for good. It’s a 25-day treatment which improves your chances of success by tackling the physical and psychological nicotine cravings that can make quitting so difficult.

Like similar products, it works by mimicking the action of nicotine (without containing any nicotine) on your body to cut cravings but with less side effects.

Don’t struggle along with willpower alone. Book your free consultation today and get the help you need to quit smoking for good.

About Belnifrem

What is Belnifrem?

Belnifrem is a proven, prescription-only smoking cessation treatment designed to tackle physical and mental cravings, giving you the best chance of quitting smoking permanently. This 25-day treatment will kickstart your journey to a smoke-free life.

Taken as a 25-day course the active ingredient cytisinicline works by mimicking the effects of nicotine on the brain to help reduce withdrawal symptoms but without containing any nicotine.

Belnifrem increases your chances of quitting successfully and staying smoke-free for good, offering extra support beyond willpower alone.

How Does Belnifrem Work?

Belnifrem works by binding to the same receptors in your brain that nicotine normally stimulates. When you smoke, these receptors release dopamine, a feel-good chemical, which reinforces your urge to keep smoking.

Belnifrem mimics nicotine, easing your cravings and withdrawal symptoms without actually delivering any nicotine. At the same time, it blocks nicotine from attaching to these receptors so, if you do smoke, it feels less rewarding.

How To Take Belnifrem

Belnifrem packs contain 100 tablets – enough for a 25-day course of treatment.

Day 1- 3Take one tablet every two hoursSix tablets daily
Day 4 -12Take one tablet every two and a half hoursFive tablets daily
Day 13 - 16Take one tablet every three hoursFour tablets daily
Day 17 - 20Take one tablet every five hoursThree tablets daily

Take Belnifrem with a glass of water. Stop smoking no later than the 5th day of treatment. If you continue it could increase the risk of side effects.
