Buletrip SR 300MG tablets have also been prescribed for treating addictive behavior in people.

Each of the generic Bupropion tablets like 300MG that have been made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. is coated with the active compound known as Bupropion. The active agent exhibits both anti-addictive as well as antidepressant properties.

In the case of depression, the medication works very similarly to the type of antidepressants classified as SSRIs or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. During studies, it has been observed that the impact of Bupropion is decidedly less when it comes to serotonin uptake in the nerve receptors. The imbalance of neurotransmitters such as Noradrenaline and Dopamine is considered a possible cause of depression. The medication blocks the reuptake of Dopamine and Noradrenaline by neurotransmitters and helps restore their balance in the brain.

Similar blocking mechanism has been thought to be why the medication is helpful in the cases of Smoking Cessation. Buletrip SR 300MG tablets help by blocking the uptake of dopamine and noradrenaline as they stimulate the brain and do not contribute towards withdrawal symptoms.

Also, this prevents the action of nicotine on receptors. This is the reason for the addictive behavior of smoking.
