Could I see a doctor online and get the chantix?

Wondering if I seen a doctor online like camera to camera kind of thing if they can give me chantix or does chantix require blood tests and blood pressure tests and things of that nature making me have to come in physically to get the chantix?

not sure.  If you're smoking right now, go to my quit plan and learn about smoking and how nicotine affects you and start tracking your cigarettes.  That is the biggest first step.  knowledge is power in this whole quitting game

I know that there are therapy sessions done online, but not sure about having prescriptions done over the internet.

Here is a site that provides reviews sites for online doctors:  The Top 10 Doctor Review Sites in 2016.  I can't imagine that any of the doctors couldn't prescribe Chantix. With the side effects listed for it, though, I am not sure I would take it without being under the supervision of a local doctor.  I took it and had no problems - but you never know.

Hmm never heard of a Doctor prescribing anything on line but wow that would be great.  I took Chantix for 3 weeks but the side effects got the best of me, but think I managed to fight the side effects along enough for the chantix to do its work.
