I am a 70 year old female and have been taking champix for the past 4 months. Have succeeded in not smoking but have now had word that tiny traces of blood have been found in my stool. This was following a test sample. Am concerned that there is a connection between champix and bowel cancer.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. The Chat Doctor. It is unlikely that champ ix will cause bowel cancer. Please get colonoscopy done at the earliest and if required a CT scan contrast might be required. At your age, occurrence of malignancy is to be ruled and is not related to intake of champ ix medicine. Please do not worry.
