Always consult your doctor before starting Zyban, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions. Common side effects include dry mouth, insomnia, constipation, and nausea. These usually lessen with continued use, but if they persist or worsen, seek medical advice immediately.
More serious, though less frequent, side effects include seizures, hallucinations, and allergic reactions. Stop taking Zyban and seek immediate medical help if you experience any of these.
Zyban interacts with several medications. Avoid using it concurrently with MAO inhibitors. Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you’re taking. This includes herbal remedies, as they can also affect Zyban’s efficacy and increase the risk of side effects.
Specifically, interactions with certain antidepressants can be risky. Your physician must carefully manage this aspect of your treatment. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Zyban, as it can intensify side effects.
