It is advised to refrain from using bupropion and naltrexone if one has uncontrolled hypertension, a history of seizures, an eating disorder, opioid dependence, pregnancy, current use of opioid medication or other bupropion formulations, or if there has been abrupt cessation of alcohol, seizure medication, or sedatives.
Inform your healthcare provider about all current medications as well as any new additions or discontinuations, as several medications may interact with bupropion and naltrexone, and some combinations are contraindicated.
There have been reports of suicidal ideation in some individuals when initiating bupropion therapy. It is important to monitor for changes in mood or symptoms and promptly report any new or worsening symptoms to a healthcare provider.
The concomitant use of alcohol with bupropion may elevate the risk of seizures. Patients who consume alcohol regularly should consult with their healthcare provider before altering their alcohol intake. Additionally, bupropion can precipitate seizures in individuals who abruptly cease alcohol consumption.
Adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding dietary restrictions, beverage consumption, and physical activity. Refrain from using other weight-loss products or diet pills unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider.
It is imperative to avoid the use of opioid medications, methadone, heroin, or illicit drugs while taking bupropion and naltrexone, as this can lead to severe consequences, such as coma or fatality.
