Zyban®
Uses
Zyban is used to help you quit smoking.
How
to take this medication
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 this
drug, until it reaches higher levels in your blood. Do not
smoke if using any nicotine products with this drug. Too much
nicotine can cause serious side effects.
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.
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 this drug. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant
or plan to become pregnant before taking this drug. This drug
is excreted into breast milk. Because of the potential risk
to the infant, breast-feeding while using this drug is not
recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
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 this drug. 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.
Miss
dose
Take any missed dose as soon as possible but not if it is
within 8 hours of the next dose. If it is time for the next
dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
Do not "double up" the dose.
Storage
Store at room temperature and keep away from moisture and
sunlight. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of
children. |
