bupropion for the smoking cessation

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The bupropion is the one that would help with smoke cessation. It is also used for anxiety and depression. Recently it has also been combined with another medication to help with weight loss as well

Benztropine is used to treat the side effects of some of the other meds. It can cause dry mouth. This can occur with cetirizine as well. Cetirizine is an antihistamine

Metformin is used for diabetes mainly

Clopidogrel helps to reduce clotting so it is used to reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
