The mechanism of action of bupropion as an antidepressant is unknown. However, it is presumed that this action is mediated by noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic mechanisms.Butrin Xl Usage And SafetyDosageBupropion HClSide EffectsAgitation, dry mouth, insomnia, headache/migraine, nausea/vomiting, constipation, and tremor, taste disorders, dizziness, concentration disturbances.Drug InteractionsInhibitors/inducers of the CYP2B6 isoenzyme (e.g., orphenadrine, thiotepa, cyclophosphamide, ticlopidine, and clopidogrel) , paroxetine, sertraline, norfluoxetine, and fluvoxamine as well as nelfinavir and efavirenz , antidepressants (SSRIs, many tricyclics), beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, and antipsychotics , nortriptyline, imipramine, desipramine, antipsychotics e.g., haloperidol, risperidone, thioridazine , beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol), antiarrhythmics e.g., propafenone, flecainide , MAO Inhibitors , Levodopa and Amantadine , antipsychotics, other antidepressants, theophylline, systemic steroids, Alcohol.IndicationIt is indicated for the treatment of major depressive episodes.When not to UseIt is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to bupropion or any of the excipients , In patients with a current seizure disorder or any history of seizures , In patients with a known central nervous system tumour.Butrin Xl PrecautionsPrecautionAll patients being treated with antidepressants for any indication should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, and unusual changes in behavior, especially during the initial few months of a course of drug therapy, or at times of dose changes, either increases or decreases.Butrin Xl WarningsWarning 1The recommended dose of modified release bupropion should not be exceeded, since bupropion is associated with a dose-related risk of seizure.Warning 2It should be discontinued promptly if patients experience hypersensitivity reactions during treatment.Warning 3There is limited clinical experience of the use of bupropion to treat depression in patients with cardiovascular disease.
