Bupropion: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

From:
$14.12

Bupropion Hydrochloride is a prescription antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It works by balancing norepinephrine and dopamine levels in the brain to improve mood, energy, and focus. Often chosen for its lower risk of sexual side effects or weight gain, it may also be prescribed off-label for smoking cessation or attention-related symptoms.
