Cytisine is a plant alkaloid with a chemical structure similar to nicotine. The use of cytisine allows for a gradual reduction of nicotine dependence by relieving withdrawal symptoms. The action of cytisine is similar to that of nicotine, but in general weaker. Cytisine competes with nicotine for the same receptors and gradually displaces nicotine due to its stronger binding. |
