Quá liều
Symptoms: Hallucinations, nausea and vomiting, loss of consciousness, tachycardia, seizures. Management: Supportive treatment. Ensure adequate airway, ventilation and oxygenation. Administer activated charcoal for a dose >450 mg w/in 1 hr of ingestion. Perform gastric lavage to decrease absorption. May give benzodiazepine for seizures.
Tương tác
Observe extreme caution w/ concurrent admin of drugs that lower seizure threshold (e.g. other antidepressants, antipsychotics, theophylline, systemic corticosteroids). Increased risk of side effects w/ levodopa or amantadine. Decreased exposure w/ CYP2B6 inducers (e.g. ritonavir, lopinavir, efavirenz). May increase exposure of CYP2D6 substrates (e.g. venlafaxine, fluoxetine, antipsychotics, β-blockers, type 1C antiarrhythmics. Potentially Fatal: Concurrent use w/ MAOIs may cause acute toxicity symptoms and increased risk of fatality.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Bupropion is a relatively weak inhibitor of the neuronal uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, w/ minimal effect on serotonin reuptake. The mechanism by which it aids in smoking cessation is presumed to be mediated by its noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic actions. Onset: 1-2 wk. Duration: 1-2 days. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Well absorbed from the GI tract. Distribution: Widely distributed. Volume of distribution: Approx 2,000 L. Plasma protein binding: ≥80%. Crosses the placenta and distributed into breast milk. Metabolism: Metabolised hepatically by CYP2B6 isoenzyme to hydroxybupropion as major metabolite; may undergo extensive first-pass metabolism. Excretion: Via urine (mainly as metabolites, <1% as unchanged drug). Terminal plasma half-life: Approx 14 hr (immediate-release); approx 20 hr (modified-release).
