A member asked:

Are toporol, its generic - metropol recalled. also is buproprion and budepropian the same and both recalled?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See below: Budeprion and bupropion are the same; since these are generic products, recalls would be specific to a manufacturer. A recent fda opinion questioned whether bupropion is the equivalent of branded wellbutrin.

Budeprione recalled: I'm not certain about metropolol, but budeprion xl, which is the generic (made by teva) of wellbutrin (bupropion) xl was recently recalled because it failed to meet the fda standards for effectiveness of the original, brand name drug. Generics of long acting forms of meds seem to be harder to duplicate than short acting ones.
