Bupropion Drug Information
Important Note
The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute for,
the expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare
professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug
is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional
before using this drug.
Uses of Bupropion
Bupropion is used to treat depression.
How to Use Bupropion
Bupropion may be taken with food if stomach upset occurs. Take Bupropion doses at
regularly scheduled times each day. Do not take more or less Bupropion medication
than prescribed and follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Taking
more than the recommended Bupropion dose will increase your risk of
having a seizure. Do not stop taking Bupropion medication without notifying
your doctor. Since this drug may cause sleeplessness at first, it is best
not to take this near bedtime. It may take 4 weeks or more before the full
effects of this medication are noticed.
Bupropion Side Effects
Bupropion is generally well tolerated. Dry mouth, headache, increased sweating,
nausea/vomiting, constipation, anxiety, fatigue and blurred vision may
occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Report promptly:
unusual weight loss or gain, palpitations, agitation, trouble sleeping.
Unlikely but report promptly: tremor, dizziness, fainting, mood changes,
slowed movements, difficulty urinating, decreased sex drive, drowsiness.
Very unlikely but report promptly: seizures, mental problems, fever, muscle
aches, yellowing of the eyes or skin. In the unlikely event you have an
allergic reaction to this drug, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms
may include trouble breathing, rash, itching, swelling, or severe dizziness.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Bupropion Precautions
Before taking bupropion, tell your doctor if you have: history of seizures
or head injury or brain tumor, heart disease, liver or kidney disease,
eating disorder, diabetes, alcohol dependence, any allergies, the intent
to quit smoking. Because of the possibility this drug will make you dizzy
and affect coordination, do not drive or operate machinery until you get
used to the drug's effects. Limit or avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages;
alcohol can increase your risk of seizures. Chronic alcohol users who suddenly
stop the intake of alcohol while taking bupropion may increase the risk
of having seizures. Suddenly stopping certain tranquilizers (e.g., diazepam,
chlordiazepoxide) is not recommended because doing so may increase the
risk of having seizures. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the
effects of this drug. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become
pregnant before taking this drug. This drug passes into breast milk. Because
of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug
is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Bupropion Drug Interactions
Before taking bupropion tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription
medications you may use especially: MAO inhibitors (e.g., isocarboxazid,
phenelzine, tranylcypromine, pargyline, selegiline, linezolid, furazolidone),
levodopa, ritonavir, corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone), sedatives, adrenaline-like
stimulants (e.g., ephedrine), products containing nicotine (e.g., patches
or gum). Also report use of drugs which might increase seizure risk (decrease
seizure threshold) such as: phenothiazines (e.g., chlorpromazine), tricyclic
antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline), isoniazid (INH), theophylline. Excess
caffeine intake can increase the chance of seizures with this drug. Check
all nonprescription/prescription drug labels for caffeine. Consult your
doctor or pharmacist. A certain product used to help quit smoking contains
bupropion. Do not take that product while using this one. Do not start
or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

room immediately. Symptoms of Bupropion overdose may include seizures, hallucinations,
rapid heart rate, and loss of consciousness.

Take any missed dose as soon as possible but not if it is within 4 hours
of the next Bupropion dose. If it is time for the next dose, skip the missed Bupropion dose
and resume your regular Bupropion schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose.
