Product Details

Description

Description

Bupropion includes the active compound bupropion hydrochloride and is primarily prescribed for treating depression and seasonal affective disorder. It helps boost mood and energy by enhancing the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. Available as 150 mg tablets, adults typically start with one tablet daily, increasing as advised. Seniors may need lower doses, while it’s generally not recommended for children. Dry mouth, headache, and insomnia are a few common side effects. Avoid alcohol and sudden stops to prevent risks like seizures. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered or skip it if close to the next dose. Store at room temperature, away from moisture.

Usage Guide

Usage Guide

When you order Bupropion from Canada, consider the following administration guidelines:

  • Take Bupropion 150 mg tablets as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush, chew, or break them.
  • Take the medication in the morning to avoid insomnia or sleep disturbances.

  • Do not stop taking Bupropion abruptly without consulting your doctor.

How It Works

How It Works

Bupropion helps increase certain natural chemicals in the brain called norepinephrine and dopamine by stopping their reabsorption. It acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), which means it blocks the reabsorption of these chemicals, helping to relieve symptoms of depression.

Side Effects

Side Effects

Common Bupropion side effects may include:

  • Dry mouth
  • Insomnia or trouble sleeping
  • Headache
  • Nausea or stomach upset
  • Increased sweating

Serious (rare) Bupropion side effects may include:

  • Seizures
  • Irregular heartbeat or chest pain
  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
  • Vision changes
  • Confusion or hallucinations

Note: Contact your healthcare provider or doctor if you experience any serious symptoms.

Warnings

Warnings

You should know about the following warnings when you order Bupropion online:

  • High Blood Pressure: Bupropion can raise blood pressure. If you have hypertension or are taking medications for blood pressure, regular monitoring is important.
  • Use in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Bupropion should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed, as limited data suggest a possible risk of birth defects. Small amounts pass into breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before use.
  • Mental Health Effects: This medication can cause mood changes, including depression, anxiety, agitation, or suicidal thoughts, especially in younger adults. Report any drastic changes in behavior or mood to your healthcare provider immediately.
