BUPROTROP SR 150 is a sustained-release tablet containingBupropion Hydrochloride 150 mg, developed to offer an effective, well-tolerated solution for individuals suffering from mood disorders such asMajor Depressive Disorder (MDD)andSeasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

What is Bupropion?

Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant that works by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, two important neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate mood, motivation, and focus. Unlike SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants, it does not primarily affect serotonin levels and is less likely to cause sexual dysfunction or weight gain. Bupropion is used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and to prevent seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is sometimes called autumn-winter seasonal depression.
