Tabex tablets

Tabex is a well-known smoking cessation aid that contains cytisine, an alkaloid found in plants like the Golden Rain tree. It was originally developed in Bulgaria during the Cold War era as a method to help people quit smoking by mimicking the effects of nicotine on the body's receptors, thereby reducing withdrawal symptoms.

The product continues to be manufactured primarily in Bulgaria by Sopharma AD, a major Bulgarian pharmaceutical company. Sopharma has a long history dating back to 1933 and remains the ultimate owner and producer of the Tabex brand. While it is widely available in Eastern Europe and online, it is often distributed through various local pharmaceutical subsidiaries or authorized importers depending on the specific national market regulation.
