Bupropion HCL (Wellbutrin) Contraindications
Bupropion HCl is contraindicated in patients with a seizure disorder.
Buproprion HCl is contraindicated in patients treated with other medications that contain bupropion because the incidence of seizure is dose-dependent.
Bupropion HCl is also contraindicated in patients with a current or prior diagnosis of bulimia or anorexia nervosa because of a higher incidence of seizures noted in such patients treated for bulimia with bupropion HCl immediate-relase formulation.
The concurrent administration of bupropion HCl and a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor is contraindicated. At least 14 days should elapse between discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor and initiation of treatment with bupropion HCl.
Bupropion HCl is contraindicated in patients who have shown an allergic response to bupropion or the other ingredients that make up bupropion HCl.
