Hi,
Zyban (bupropion) is a medication that is commonly used as an aid for
smoking cessation. This medication can cause side effects in some people even though it is generally tolerable.
Chest pain and
stomach cramps are both known side effects of Zyban, although they are not very common.
It is important to note that chest pain can be a symptom of a serious medical condition, such as a
heart attack or
pulmonary embolism. Therefore, if you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
In addition, if you are experiencing any side effects from Zyban that are concerning or persistent, it is important to inform your healthcare provider. They can help determine if the medication should be continued, adjusted, or stopped altogether.
Overall, while chest pain and stomach cramps can be side effects of Zyban, it is important to have any concerning symptoms evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
