What is Bupropion Hydrochloride used for?

People often ask what is bupropion used for, and this medication is specifically indicated for smoking cessation support.

What are the side effects of Bupropion Hydrochloride?

Users of Zyban may experience changes in mood or energy levels as the body adjusts to reduced nicotine dependence. Some report feeling more focused or less irritable during the quitting process. These effects are part of the adjustment period and vary by individual.
