Zyban (bupropion) is a prescription medication designed to help smokers quit more easily than without the drug. It comes in a pill form. It does not contain nicotine. Zyban helps reduce withdrawal symptoms as you remove cigarettes from your life.
Zyban dosing generally starts at 150 mg once a day. This Zyban dosage can be increased to 150 mg twice a day by the fourth day of treatment. Some of the factors that affect your specific dose include your age, whether other medical conditions are present, and whether you are taking other drugs. If you are taking Zyban twice a day, you should make sure to take each Zyban dosage at least eight hours apart.
For most patients, healthcare professionals will recommend staying on Zyban for at least 7 to 12 weeks to help support long-term success. However, some individual may need to take Zyban for an extended period of time, depending on the individual's healthcare professional's recommendation.
