Wellbutrin XL 300mg (Bupropion Hydrochloride Extended-Release) – Description

Wellbutrin XL 300mg is a prescription medication used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It contains Bupropion Hydrochloride, an atypical antidepressant that works differently from most other depression medications by targeting dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain. The XL (extended-release) formulation provides once-daily dosing for consistent mood stabilization throughout the day.
