Para que serve a Bupropiona? | Dr Tontura e Dra Maria Fernanda

What is bupropion used for? Bupropion is a widely used antidepressant today. The brand name is Wellbutrin, and the main similar drugs are: BUP, Zetron, Bupium, Zyban, Bupogran, Seth, Buene, and Noradop. To begin with, bupropion is an antidepressant. But it can also be used for weight loss, smoking cessation, and even gambling addiction—don't miss out, we'll explain everything in this video. It's a controlled medication here in Brazil (meaning you need a double prescription from your doctor to purchase it) and is RED STRIPED. So, here's some valuable information: since it's not black striped, it means it's a non-addictive medication. Nor is it a medication that the body will get used to and lose its effect (a phenomenon called dependence). And within the class of antidepressants, there are several types. Bupropion is a DUAL. I'll translate that. It's an antidepressant that inhibits the reuptake of two neurotransmitters: norepinephrine and dopamine. And what does inhibiting reuptake mean? Less dopamine and norepinephrine will be reuptaken and degraded, meaning more dopamine and norepinephrine will be left for my brain. Watch the video and learn more!
