PRECAUTIONS (Before you Order or Use this Medicine)
Before taking
Zyban tell your doctor if you have a history of seizures, head injury, brain
tumor; heart, liver or kidney disease, an eating disorder or any mental
conditions, diabetes or if you have any allergies. Limit or avoid consumption of
alcoholic beverages; alcohol can increase your risk of seizures. Chronic alcohol
users who suddenly stop the intake of alcohol while taking bupropion may
increase the risk of having seizures. Suddenly stopping certain tranquilizers
(e.g., diazepam, chlordiazepoxide) is not recommended because doing so may
increase the risk of having seizures. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to
the effects of this drug. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become
pregnant before taking it. Zyban is excreted into breast milk. Because of the
potential risk to the infant, BREAST-FEEDING WHILE USING THIS DRUG IS NOT

constipation, anxiety and fatigue may occur. If these effects persist or worsen,
