Bupropion is a medication used for the treatment of major depression and as an aid in smoking cessation. It is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that helps improve mood and reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

The medication is taken orally, usually once or twice daily, as directed by a doctor. The dosage is adjusted based on the patient's response and the purpose of treatment.

Common side effects include insomnia, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, and anxiety. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as seizures or severe allergic reactions may occur.

Bupropion is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients should inform their doctor about all medications they are taking to avoid drug interactions. Additionally, it is important for patients to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage to minimize the risk of serious adverse effects.
