Chunk #30 — 3. Results — 3.4 Association of Suicide and the Use of Smoking Cessation Medications — 3.4.2. Epidemiological/Clinical Data — 3.4.2.2. Nicotine partial agonists
Cytisine is another partial nicotine agonist that has been tested in 10 trials but only three of these were placebo-controlled (Etter 2006). Among the 8154 smokers exposed to cytisine, no suicidal behavior was reported; however, no psychiatric adverse events at all were reported which suggests under-reporting of this class of AEs in the published studies.
