Bupropion SR

Bupropion SR (Wellbutrin SR® or Zyban®) is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of depression (also known as major depression or clinical depression).

Wellbutrin SR and Zyban are similar medications, except that Wellbutrin SR is approved for depression, while Zyban is approved for smoking cessation. Who Makes It? Wellbutrin SR and Zyban are manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. How Does Bupropion SR Work? Bupropion SR is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, or NDRI for short. As a message travels down a nerve, it causes the end of the cell to release either norepinephrine or dopamine. Normally, this process works without any problems. Currently, the only NDRI antidepressants approved for use are medications containing bupropion. Generic Wellbutrin Xl (Bupropion Xl) 300 mg.

Bupropion

Marketed as Wellbutrin, Budeprion, Prexaton, Elontril, Aplenzin, or other trade names, it is one of the most frequently prescribed antidepressants in the United States. Marketed in lower-dose formulations as Zyban, Voxra, or other names, it is also widely used to reduce nicotine cravings by people who are trying to quit smoking. It is taken in the form of pills, and in the United States is available only by prescription. Medically, bupropion serves as a non-tricyclic antidepressant fundamentally different from most commonly prescribed antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is an effective antidepressant on its own, but is also popular as an add-on medication in cases of incomplete response to first-line SSRI antidepressants.
