General Budeprion XL Dosing Information

Considerations for people taking Budeprion XL include the following:
 
  • Budeprion XL should be taken in the morning. Taking it later in the day may increase your risk of insomnia.

  • Budeprion XL should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level in your blood.
     
  • People with liver problems, such as liver failure or cirrhosis, will need lower doses of the drug.
     
  • For Budeprion XL to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. The medication will not work if you take it differently from how your healthcare provider recommends.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to Budeprion XL or Budeprion XL dosing, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking the medication without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
