What is Aplenzin?

Aplenzin is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Bausch Health Companies Inc. Aplenzin is an aminoketone antidepressant indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). It may also be used to prevent seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs each year at the same time (e.g. during the winter season). It is thought that Aplenzin may work by restoring the balance of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.

Aplenzin is not FDA-approved to treat sexual dysfunction, including trouble getting an erection or achieving an orgasm. The American Psychiatric Association does however recommend using bupropion off-label to treat sexual dysfunction when it’s a side effect of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication.

Antidepressants have been seen to increase the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults in studies of major depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders.

What doses of Aplenzin are available?

Aplenzin is available in extended-release tablet form, in the following doses: 174 mg, 348 mg, 522 mg.

Increase the dose of Aplenzin gradually to reduce the risk of seizures and other effects. The recommended starting dose for adults is 174 mg/day, to achieve a target dose of 348 mg/day.

When switching from other brands such as Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, or Wellbutrin XL patients should be given an equivalent daily dose, if possible. Patients with impaired hepatic or renal function should take a reduced dose or frequency of Aplenzin.

Please read the full medication guide and always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
