Bupropion Tablets (Bupropion Hydrochloride)

Adult dosage

Adults: As with other antidepressants, treatment should continue for at least 4 weeks. Administer 100㎎ per dose 3 times daily. Initially, administer 100㎎ per dose twice daily, and, depending on the clinical response, increase to 100㎎ per dose 3 times daily after at least 4 days. General administration: It is important to minimize the risk of seizures. During dose increases, do not increase the total daily dose by more than 100㎎ in 3 days. During gradual dose escalation, it is important to monitor for and minimize the frequent occurrence of agitation, ataxia, and insomnia early in treatment. If necessary, these may be managed with a temporary dose reduction or temporary administration of an intermediate- or long-acting sedative-hypnotic. A sedative-hypnotic is not needed during the first week of treatment; insomnia can be minimized by avoiding administration at bedtime. If adverse effects occur, stop increasing the dose. Do not exceed 150mg per dose. Administer 3 times daily at intervals of at least 6 hours. When administering more than 300mg daily: If there is no clinical response after treatment with 300mg daily for several weeks, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 450mg daily, up to 150mg per dose. To ensure that no single dose exceeds 150mg, administer 100mg per dose 4 times daily at 4-hour intervals. Discontinue this medicine if an adequate response is not achieved with 450mg daily. Maintenance therapy: The lowest dose is recommended. The duration of treatment is unknown, but is generally considered to be several months or longer, as needed for acute treatment of depression.
