Bupron XL 150 Tablet is taken orally, which means it is swallowed with water. It should not be taken in any other way.

Taking Bupron XL 150 Tablet may cause some common side effects:

Nausea: Feeling sick or experiencing an upset stomach.
Headache: Having pain or discomfort in the head.
Dizziness: Feeling lightheaded or unsteady when standing.
Vomiting: Have the urge to throw up.

Managing the Side Effects:

If you experience any of these side effects, here are some natural ways to manage them:

The medicine contains an active ingredient called bupropion.

Here's how it works:

Bupropion affects dopamine centres in the brain, which helps regulate pleasure and reward pathways.
It increases serotonin levels in the brain, improving mood and reducing symptoms of depression.
Bupropion also stops the reabsorption of another brain chemical — norepinephrine, which helps increase alertness and focus.

In summary, by blocking the reabsorption of these neurotransmitters in the brain, bupropion increases their levels, leading to improved mood and relief from depression symptoms.
