Bupropion Hcl

Drug Details

Bupropion is an oral medication prescribed for the treatment of depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It is available in both short-acting tablets, which are taken two or three times daily, and long-acting formulations taken once daily. While the exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, bupropion is believed to enhance the balance of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, contributing to mood improvement. Notably, bupropion tends to cause fewer sexual side effects compared to other antidepressants. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with a history of seizures, eating disorders, or those who consume alcohol frequently. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice before starting or changing any medication regimen.
