I have not checked on the FAA website to see if it is on their list of
approved meds, but if it is new, it probably has not been evaluated. Sounds
like it would be reasonable and logical, but the FAA is very conservative
when it comes to aeromedical issues.

If you're talking about the military, you can completely forget it- they are
so conservative that I'm surprised they've approved Tylenol.

Is the FAA aware of a new anti-smoking drug called Chantix? More to the
point, do hey have an official position on it? For most of my career, we
always used Nicoderm patches on those inpatients who smoked... with very
uneven results. I have, within the last few months, become aware of
Chantix and its ability to totally kill the desire to smoke. Before I
suggest it to a friend of mine who flies for a commuter, I want to be able
to say one way or the other if it will affect his ability to fly while
he's taking it. If not, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut; he'd never
look into it in that case.

Gentlemen?
