Bupropion, the drug in the anti-depressants “Zyban” and “Wellbutrin”, can also help people quit smoking. However, health insurance companies in the United States will not pay for a prescription for “Zyban” or “Wellbutrin” if the depressed person is a smoker. How do you feel about the American healthcare system regarding the above fact?
Came across this earlier today. What do you think? I think this may be due to IP laws or regulations by the FDA, but I have no solid evidence. Does anyone else know anything about this? If my suspicions are true, could you send me some links/articles about this? Thanks!
