What is the cost of varenicline (Champix) and where does it vary?

The price range is hard to state precisely without your country, dose strength (commonly 0.5 mg and 1 mg), and pack size (starter/continuation). In general, branded varenicline is more expensive than generic varenicline where a generic is available.
