Active ingredients

The drug WELLBUTRIN contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Bupropion UNII ZG7E5POY8O - BUPROPION HYDROCHLORIDE

Bupropion is a selective inhibitor of the neuronal re-uptake of catecholamines (noradrenaline and dopamine) with minimal effect on the re-uptake of indolamines (serotonin) and does not inhibit either monoamine oxidase. The mechanism by which bupropion enhances the ability of patients to abstain from smoking is unknown. However, it is presumed that this action is mediated by noradrenergic and/or dopaminergic mechanisms. Read about Bupropion
