What should I do if I miss a dose of Bupropion XL 150 mg?
Short answer
If you miss a Bupropion XL dose, skip it and take your next dose at the usual time, following your label and prescribing physician’s instructions. Do not double up or take extra tablets. Taking doses too close together can raise seizure risk. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.
For Bupropion XL, the usual missed-dose advice is to skip the missed tablet and take the next dose at your regular time. Follow your pharmacy label and your prescribing physician’s instructions. Do not take two doses together or add a tablet later to make up for one you missed.
Taking too much bupropion or taking doses too close together can raise the risk of a seizure. If you are unsure whether you took your tablet, ask your pharmacist what to do rather than taking another one just in case.
If you miss several doses, contact your prescribing physician before restarting. They can advise you based on how long you have been off the medicine and your health history. Do not create your own restart schedule.
A phone reminder or medication log may help you track daily doses. If you accidentally take more than prescribed, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 right away. Call 911 for a seizure, collapse, trouble breathing, or inability to wake up.
