Zyban Medical Information:
How To Take Zyban:
Swallow Zyban whole. Do not crush or chew them or the
sustained activity of the drug will be destroyed and the chances
of side effects occurring may be increased. Take as directed,
usually twice daily for 7 to 12 weeks. Do not take more or less
medication than prescribed. Since Zyban can cause sleeplessness
at first, it is best not to take near bedtime. It is advised
to continue smoking for the first week after starting Zyban,
until it reaches higher levels in your blood. Do not smoke if
using any nicotine products with Zyban. Too much nicotine
can cause serious side effects.
Zyban Side Effects:
Zyban is generally well tolerated. Dry mouth, headache,
increased sweating, constipation, anxiety and fatigue may occur.
If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.
Zyban Precautions:
Before taking bupropion tell your doctor if you have a history
of seizures, head injury, brain tumor; heart, liver or kidney
disease, an eating disorder or any mental conditions, diabetes
or if you have any allergies. Limit or avoid consumption of
alcoholic
beverages; alcohol can increase your risk of seizures. Chronic
alcohol users who suddenly stop the intake of alcohol while
taking
bupropion may increase the risk of having seizures. Suddenly
stopping certain tranquilizers (e.g., diazepam, chlordiazepoxide)
is not recommended because doing so may increase the risk of
having seizures. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to
the effects
of Zyban. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan
to become pregnant before taking Zyban. Zyban is excreted
into
breast milk.
Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while
using Zyban is not recommended . Consult your doctor
before
breast-feeding.
Zyban Drug Interactions:
Before taking bupropion tell your doctor of all nonprescription
and prescription medications you may use especially MAO inhibitors
(e.g., isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, pargyline,
selegiline, furazolidone), levodopa, theophylline, corticosteroids
(e.g., prednisone), seizure medications, sedatives, ritonavir,
tranquilizers/psychiatric drugs (e.g., chlorpromazine), other
antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline), salicylates (e.g., aspirin,
salsalate), isoniazid, chlolinesterase inhibitors (e.g., tacrine,
donepezil), morphine, and adrenaline-like drugs (e.g., pseudoephedrine).
Excess caffeine intake can increase the chance of seizures
with
Zyban. Check all nonprescription/prescription drug labels
for caffeine. Consult doctor or pharmacist. A certain product
used to help quit smoking contains bupropion. Do not take that
product while using this one.
Notes:
Do not allow anyone else to take Zyban.
