View company portfolio →What Budep (Bupropion) is used for
Bupropion is a prescription medicine that is used as an antidepressant and also, without any nicotine, to help people stop smoking. It acts on brain activity and is thought to reduce cravings and nicotine withdrawal symptoms. It comes as slow-release (prolonged-release) tablets. The stop-smoking medicine and the antidepressant contain the same active ingredient. WHO lists bupropion as an essential medicine for stopping smoking and recommends it as one of the treatments that work for quitting tobacco.
- Helping adults stop smoking, together with stop-smoking support
- Depression
- Seasonal affective disorder: low mood that comes back at the same time each year, usually in autumn and winter
- Sometimes, if a doctor decides it is right, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or low mood in bipolar disorder (an off-label use described by US sources)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for a fit (seizure), collapse, trouble breathing, or if someone cannot be woken up.
- Stop taking it and get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: rash or hives with swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or collapse.
- Stop taking it and get medical help straight away for a serious rash, or blistering, peeling or sores on the skin or in the mouth.
- Get help straight away if you have thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life, or new or worse depression. This is more likely in children, teenagers and young adults and in the first months of treatment. Family and carers should look out for agitation, panic, sleep problems, irritability, aggression or reckless behaviour.
