What is the major warning associated with both Bupropion SR (Zyban) and Varenicline (Chantix)?

Increased risk of heart attack
Risk of suicidal thinking
Severe skin rash
Acute renal failure

The correct answer is: Risk of suicidal thinking

Both Bupropion SR (Zyban) and Varenicline (Chantix) are medications used to help people quit smoking. While they are effective in helping smokers kick the habit, they both come with potential side effects. The major warning associated with both is the risk of suicidal thinking. This means that people taking these medications may experience worsening depression, thoughts of self-harm, or thoughts of suicide. It is important for anyone taking these medications to be closely monitored by their healthcare provider for any changes in mood or behavior. The other options, increased risk of heart attack, severe skin rash, and acute renal failure, are potential side effects of these medications, but they are not the major warning. It is important to be aware of all potential side effects and to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
