Zyban is a prolonged-release tablet containing 150mg of bupropion, an aminoketone used in the management of smoking cessation. It is also known as Wellbutrin, and the originator company is GSK.
Bupropion acts as a non-competitive antagonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and inhibits the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine. Its effect on smoking cessation is likely linked to these noradrenergic and dopaminergic actions. Onset is usually 1 to 2 weeks, with a duration of 7 to 9 weeks. It is contraindicated in seizure disorders, in current or prior bulimia or anorexia nervosa, and with MAO inhibitors; doses are increased gradually to reduce seizure risk.
