Question : can Wellbutrin be transfered from a male in semen sexually to their partner orally or vaginally & cause a reaction? (allergy)

Answered by Dr. Praveen (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
No, it doesnot transferred by sexual activity

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for your query.

Wellburtin(Bupropion) decreases the sperm count in the semen.It does not usually get transferred to your partner during sexual activity may it be vaginal or oral route.Thus it is highly unlikely that this is the cause of allergy in your partner.

I would recommend a detailed work up to evaluate the reason for allergy in your partner.

Regards
Dr.Praveen.
