Bupron SR

Bupron SR is a sustained-release formulation of bupropion, commonly prescribed for major depressive disorder and smoking cessation. It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to regulate mood and reduce nicotine cravings. Unlike other antidepressants, Bupron SR has a lower risk of weight gain and sexual dysfunction, making it a preferred option for some patients.
