Ingredients/Content

Active ingredients: 1 tablet 300mg of Bupropion

Efficacy/Effectiveness

Bupropion is a drug that is used as an auxiliary treatment for depression and smoking cessation. It improves depression by increasing neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, and reduces withdrawal symptoms and smoking desire by replacing the role of cigarettes like nicotine. Fast-type tablets among single-drug tablets are used to treat depression, and sustained-type tablets are used to treat nicotine withdrawal symptoms during smoking cessation as well as depression. Bupropion activates the appetite suppressing center, thereby suppressing appetite and increasing satiety. A complex with naltrexone, which strengthens and sustains this action of bupropion, is used as an adjuvant for weight control in obese patients.

Nervousness and insomnia may occur, so be careful not to take them later in the evening. To minimize these side effects, it is recommended to increase the dose step by step.

Western tablets are formulations that allow drugs to be released slowly over a long period of time, so you should not chew or take them in pieces. There are reports that chewing or dividing may increase the risk of side effects, including seizures.

Bupropion should not be administered in duplicate for different purposes of smoking cessation or treating depression, or in combination with other drugs containing bupropion.

As the dose increases, the risk of seizures increases. To reduce the risk of seizures, make sure not to exceed the maximum daily dose and gradually increase the dose. In addition, patients who are likely to have seizures (such as head trauma, seizure experience, central nervous system tumors, severe liver disease, etc.) or those who are taking seizure thresholds (such as depression drugs, psychosis drugs, steroids, etc.) should follow the prescriptions in their specialists and physicians.

It is not recommended for patients with a history of seizures or seizures, or for patients with tumors in the central nervous system.

In case of alcohol or discontinuation of administration, do not administer drugs that are associated with a risk of seizures (especially benzodiazepine and benzodiazepine-like drugs) to patients who suddenly discontinue administration.

As administration of bupropion may increase the risk of seizures, it is not recommended for patients diagnosed now or in the past with macrophages or neurotic appetite.
