About Butrin Tablets 75mg
Butrin Tablets 75mg contain Bupropion HCl 75mg, a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI) antidepressant prescribed for major depressive disorder (MDD). Bupropion selectively inhibits the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine — unlike SSRIs, it has minimal effect on serotonin, resulting in no weight gain and no sexual dysfunction in most patients, and is generally non-sedating. Butrin 75mg is an immediate-release Rx formulation taken as prescribed by a psychiatrist.
Important Safety Warning: Bupropion lowers the seizure threshold in a dose-dependent manner. It is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorder, eating disorders (anorexia/bulimia), alcohol withdrawal, CNS tumours, or history of head trauma. Never exceed prescribed dose — higher doses significantly increase seizure risk. Prescription and psychiatrist supervision required.
Key Benefits
- Treats major depressive disorder (MDD) and mood disorders
- Stimulating antidepressant — improves energy, focus, and motivation
- No weight gain and no sexual dysfunction in most patients (unlike SSRIs)
- Non-sedating — suitable for daytime use
- NDRI mechanism offers a different profile for patients unresponsive to SSRIs
How to Use
Take exactly as prescribed — typically once or twice daily. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew. Can be taken with or without food. Do not exceed the prescribed dose — increased doses raise seizure risk. If you miss a dose, skip it rather than doubling. Never combine with other antidepressants without medical guidance.
