Aplenzin Description

This medication is used to treat depression. It can improve your mood and feelings of well-being. It may work by restoring the balance of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.

Aplenzin Directions

Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using bupropion and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions regarding the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth, usually once daily in the morning, with or without food. If nausea occurs, you may take this drug with food. It is important to take your dose at the same time each day, 24 hours apart or as directed by your doctor.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of serious side effects (including seizures). Also, do not split the tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.
Since this drug may cause sleeplessness at first, it is best not to take it near bedtime. Your dose may be slowly increased to limit side effects such as sleeplessness, and to decrease the risk of seizures.
Do not take more or less medication than prescribed. Taking more than the recommended dose of bupropion will increase your risk of having a seizure. There are 2 forms of extended release bupropion (bupropion hydrochloride and bupropion hydrobromide). The usual maximum dose is 450 milligrams per day of bupropion hydrochloride or 522 milligrams of bupropion hydrobromide. The maximum dose depends on your medical condition and response to treatment. Ask your pharmacist for more details or if you have any questions.
Do not stop taking this medication without notifying your doctor. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it.
It may take 4 weeks or more before the full effects of this medication are noticed. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens.
