Zyban Description
Zyban (Wellbutrin), an antidepressant or mood elevator, is used to treat depression, and Zyban (Wellbutrin) is used to help people stop smoking.
How Zyban Works
Zyban is the first non-nicotine, FDA-approved oral medication (a pill) for smoking cessation.
While it is unclear exactly how Zyban works, it is thought to act on the part of your brain
that is addicted to the nicotine in your cigarettes. Zyban helps decrease your cravings and
withdrawal symptoms and your desire to smoke.
Zyban Dosage
It is usually taken one to three times a day and may be taken with or without food. Do not crush, chew, or divide Zyban (Wellbutrin) tablets. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Side Effects of Zyban
Like all medicines, Zyban may cause side effects. The most common side effects include dry
mouth and difficulty sleeping. These side effects are generally mild and often disappear after
a few weeks. If you are having difficulty sleeping, avoid taking your medicine too close to
bedtime. The most common side effects that caused people to stop taking Zyban during clinical studies
were shakiness and skin rash. Contact your doctor or health care professional if you have a
rash or other troublesome side effects. Use caution before driving a car oroperating complex,
hazardous nikery until you know if Zyban affects your ability to perform these tasks.
