What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Wellbutrin, or Bupropion, is a medication mostly used to treat major depression. It works by changing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that affect mood and feelings. Unlike other common types of antidepressants, such as SSRIs or tricyclics, Wellbutrin belongs to a different group of medications called aminoketones. Besides helping with depression, it can also support people trying to quit smoking by lessening cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Directions

When taking Wellbutrin, closely follow the prescription label's instructions. This medication is typically taken in divided doses two to three times a day, with the total daily dose not exceeding 450 mg to minimize the risk of seizures. Swallow the tablets whole, without crushing or splitting them. The initial dose is often started low, with a healthcare provider gradually increasing it, allowing the body to adjust to the medication. Take Wellbutrin at the same time each day to maintain an even level in the bloodstream.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Wellbutrin is Bupropion.

Contraindications

Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:

  • Known hypersensitivity to Bupropion or any ingredients of its formulations
  • Current or past diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa
  • Undergoing abrupt discontinuation of alcohol, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and antiepileptic drugs
  • Use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within the last 14 days
  • Seizure disorder

Cautions

  • Before starting Wellbutrin, tell your healthcare provider if you have:
    • Any existing health conditions
    • Any allergies
    • A list of all medications you are currently taking
    • Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Wellbutrin may cause or worsen depression, suicidal thoughts, or unusual changes in behavior, especially in children, adolescents, and young adults under 25. Families and caregivers should closely observe patients and report any concerning symptoms to a healthcare provider immediately.
  • While Wellbutrin is not approved for smoking cessation, it contains the same active ingredient as Zyban, which has been associated with serious mood changes, hallucinations, paranoia, aggression, and suicidal thoughts. If these symptoms occur, stop taking Wellbutrin and seek medical advice.
  • Wellbutrin can cause seizures, especially at higher doses or in patients with certain medical conditions or taking medications that lower the seizure threshold. Do not exceed 450 mg per day. Discontinue treatment if a seizure occurs.
  • Treatment may lead to elevated blood pressure or hypertension. Monitoring is key, especially if using nicotine replacement therapy or if there is a history of heart conditions.
  • Wellbutrin may trigger mania or hypomania in individuals with bipolar disorder or those at risk. Screen for bipolar disorder before starting treatment.
  • Delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, or confusion may occur in some patients. Contact a healthcare provider if these symptoms develop.
  • Wellbutrin may cause pupillary dilation, increasing the risk of an angle-closure glaucoma attack in patients with narrow-angle anatomy. Consult an eye specialist if you are at risk.
  • Allergic reactions, including rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing, have occurred. Discontinue Wellbutrin and seek medical attention if symptoms develop.
  • There is a small potential for sensitivity to sunlight. Consider sun protection measures during treatment.
  • To minimize risks, healthcare providers should prescribe the smallest effective quantity. Follow dosage instructions carefully.

Side Effects

Wellbutrin may cause side effects such as nervousness, dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, or headache. Some people also report tremors, sweating, trouble sleeping, or blurred vision. These effects are usually mild, but consult your healthcare provider if they become bothersome or persist.

Wellbutrin can increase the risk of seizures, particularly at higher doses or in people with certain medical conditions. It may also cause high blood pressure, especially when combined with nicotine replacement therapy. Rare but serious side effects include manic episodes, unusual thoughts or behaviors, visual problems, and severe allergic reactions such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing. Stop taking Wellbutrin and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any of these serious symptoms.
