When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Bupropion is primarily metabolized by the liver. The systemic exposure and half-life of bupropion and its metabolites may be increased in patients with hepatic impairment, and drug accumulation may occur to a greater extent than usual. Therapy with bupropion should be administered cautiously in patients with impaired hepatic function, including mild to moderate hepatic cirrhosis. A reduced dose and/or dosing frequency should be considered. Extreme caution is advised in patients with severe hepatic cirrhosis. A dosage reduction is required in these patients, and the dosage should not exceed 75 mg once a day. All patients with hepatic impairment should be closely monitored for possible adverse effects that could indicate high drug or metabolite levels.
