About Bupromat ER 150 Tablet

Bupromat ER 150 Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antidepressants', primarily used in the treatment of depression. It’s also used to help people stop smoking. Depression is a mood disorder that affects day to day life of a person. A person may have symptoms such as feeling sad or feeling lost and might have mood swings.
