Abstract

This column presents the case example of a patient who was prescribed 3 different brand name drugs, all of which contain bupropion, which has a dose-dependent seizure risk. This case illustrates how such prescribing can result in a patient exceeding the recommended maximum daily dose of bupropion and having a seizure. This column also explains why prescribers should advise their patients to get their prescriptions filled by the same pharmacy or pharmacy chain.
