Patient summary
Bupropion 150mg prolonged-release tablets, used in the management of smoking cessation. It antagonises the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
Mechanism of action
This medicine acts as a non-competitive antagonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. It also inhibits the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, though the exact mechanism for assisting smoking cessation is likely related to its noradrenergic and dopaminergic effects.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if necessary; consult a physician. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
