Description

What is Zyban?

Zyban (bupropion) is a prescription, non-nicotine medication used by adults who want to quit smoking. Rather than replacing nicotine, it targets the brain pathways linked to habit and reward — making it a useful choice for people who prefer to avoid patches, gum, or other nicotine-based products.

How Zyban Helps

Nicotine disrupts the balance of certain brain chemicals, which is why quitting can feel so difficult. Zyban helps stabilise these chemicals, reducing the intensity of urges and mood swings when cutting down or stopping.

How to Take Zyban

Treatment begins 1–2 weeks before your planned quit date. Typical schedule:

  • Days 1–6: one 150mg tablet daily
  • From day 7 onwards: one 150mg tablet twice daily (at least 8 hours apart)

Courses generally last around 7–9 weeks. Swallow tablets whole with water. Avoid taking close to bedtime if it affects sleep.

Who it’s For

Zyban can be prescribed to most adults over 18 who want to stop smoking, especially those who haven’t had success with nicotine-based methods or who prefer a non-nicotine approach.

Side Effects

  • Dry mouth
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Headaches
  • Feeling slightly on edge or restless at the start

In rarer cases, it can increase blood pressure — your prescriber may check this before and during treatment.

Important

If you notice unusual changes in mood or anything that doesn’t feel right, stop taking the medication and speak to a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

Precautions & Contraindications

  • Epilepsy or history of seizures
  • History of eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Recently stopped alcohol abruptly or withdrawing from certain medications
  • Past allergic reaction to bupropion
