@rxreflex: 2026 PTCB drug mnemonic ๐ Wellbutrin helps you quit smoking. What's the catch? BUPROPION in 9 letters B โ Brand: Wellbutrin. Depression + seasonal depression (SAD, XL form) U โ Unusual class: NDRI. Norepinephrine + dopamine, not serotonin P โ Puff-free: the SR form is approved to help quit smoking R โ Risk of seizures: THE catch. It rises with the dose O โ Out with eating disorders: bulimia or anorexia raise the seizure risk P โ Pros: few sexual side effects, little weight gain I โ Insomnia: take it in the morning, not at bedtime O โ Off-limits with MAOIs: keep a 14-day gap N โ No doubling up: Zyban was bupropion SR, the same drug โ never take two bupropion products together (seizure risk). The Zyban brand is now discontinued in the US Then I open the RxReflex app: search bupropion โ tap bupropion โ its Memory Cue + PTCE exam tip (same drug for depression AND for quitting smoking). ๐ฌ What's the catch with bupropion? Answer in the comments ๐ ๐ Save it for exam day. ๐ Send it to whoever is testing with you. ๐ฑ All 200 drug cards have a Memory Cue in the RxReflex app. Free to start on iPhone + Android, link in bio. #PTCB #PTCE #pharmacytechnician #ptcbexam #ptcbprep
