Drug Interactions With Buproban (Cont.)

More Information on Interactions With Buproban

The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when Buproban is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
 
Alcohol
It is not recommended that you drink alcohol while taking Buproban. Combining the two may cause unwanted side effects (see Zyban and Alcohol). However, since stopping alcohol abruptly while taking Buproban can increase your risk of seizures, you should talk with your healthcare provider before you stop drinking alcohol.
 
Other Antidepressants
Taking Buproban with other antidepressants may affect the levels of the medications in your blood, potentially increasing your risk of side effects. Also, taking Buproban with other antidepressants may increase your risk of seizures. Talk with your healthcare provider before combining Buproban with other antidepressant medications.
 
You should not take Buproban with other products containing bupropion, including Budeprion SR®, Zyban®, Budeprion XL®, Wellbutrin®, Wellbutrin SR®, and Wellbutrin XL®.
 
Amantadine
Taking Buproban and amantadine together may increase your risk of side effects. To prevent this, your healthcare provider may decide to start you at a lower Buproban dose if you are taking amantadine.
 
Antipsychotic Medications
Buproban can increase the levels of some antipsychotic medications in your blood, which may increase your risk of side effects. Also, taking Buproban with antipsychotic medications may increase your chance of seizures. Talk with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together.
