confusion about how to prescribe generics for bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban, Budeprion, Buproban, etc)
February 2011
There's lots of confusion about how to prescribe generics for bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban, Budeprion, Buproban, etc).
It's hard to keep track of which ones are equivalent since some generics have their own "brand names" or use different drug suffixes.
For example, some long-acting generics are just called "extended-release" instead of "SR" or "XL" like Wellbutrin. This makes it hard to tell which ones are appropriate for once- or twice-daily dosing.
