ZYBAN USES
Zyban is used to help you quit smoking.
HOW TO TAKE ZYBAN
Swallow this medication whole. Do not crush or chew them or
the sustained activity of the drug will be destroyed and the
chances of side effects occurring may be increased.
Take
as directed, usually twice daily for 7 to 12 weeks. Do not
take more or less medication than prescribed. Since this drug
can cause sleeplessness at first, it is best not to take near
bedtime. It is advised to continue smoking for the first week
after starting this drug, until it reaches higher levels in
your blood. Do not smoke if using any nicotine products with
this drug. Too much nicotine can cause serious side effects.
ZYBAN SIDE EFFECTS
This medication is generally well tolerated. Dry mouth, headache,
increased sweating, constipation, anxiety and fatigue may
occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.
ZYBAN PRECAUTIONS
Before taking this medication tell your doctor if you have
a history of seizures, head injury, brain tumor; heart, liver
or kidney disease, an eating disorder or any mental conditions,
diabetes or if you have any allergies. Limit or avoid consumption
of alcoholic beverages; alcohol can increase your risk of
seizures.
Chronic alcohol users
who suddenly stop the intake of alcohol while taking bupropion
may increase the risk of having seizures. Suddenly stopping
certain tranquilizers (e.g., diazepam, chlordiazepoxide) is
not recommended because doing so may increase the risk of
having seizures. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to
the effects of this drug.
Tell your doctor if
you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before taking
this drug. This drug is excreted into breast milk. Because
of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while
using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before
breast-feeding.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Before taking Zyban tell your doctor of all nonprescription
and prescription medications you may use especially MAO inhibitors
(e.g., isocarboxazid, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, pargyline,
selegiline, furazolidone), levodopa, theophylline, corticosteroids
(e.g., prednisone), seizure medications, sedatives, ritonavir,
tranquilizers/psychiatric drugs (e.g., chlorpromazine), other
antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline), salicylates (e.g.,
aspirin, salsalate), isoniazid, chlolinesterase inhibitors
(e.g., tacrine, donepezil), morphine, and adrenaline-like
drugs (e.g., pseudoephedrine).
Excess caffeine intake
can increase the chance of seizures with this drug. Check
all nonprescription/prescription drug labels for caffeine.
Consult doctor or pharmacist. A certain product used to help
quit smoking contains bupropion. Do not take that product
while using this one.
NOTES
Do not allow anyone else to take Zyban.
MISSED DOSE
Take any missed dose as soon as possible but not if it is
within 8 hours of the next dose. If it is time for the next
dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
Do not "double up" the dose.
STORAGE
Store at room temperature and keep away from moisture and
sunlight. Keep Zyban and all medications out of the reach
of children.
