Bupropion

TABLET TABLET

By increasing levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, Bupropion helps to reduce appetite and cravings, leading to effective weight loss, improved mood and increased energy levels.

  • Reduces appetite and cravings

  • Encourages weight loss

  • Improves mood and energy levels

Bupropion is an antidepressant medication that works in the brain. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and for smoking cessation.Clinicians prescribe it off-label to treat excess weight and obesity because clinical evidence shows it also helps people lose weight.

Bupropion is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). It works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, which increases their levels in the brain, reducing cravings and improving mood.

When taking bupropion, you may experience a reduction in appetite and cravings, improved mood, and increased energy levels. Some side effects like dizziness, dry mouth, or headaches may occur but often subside as the body adjusts to the medication.
