Bupropion in atopic dermatitis.
Bupropion is an antidepressive drug whose main mechanism of action seems to be the inhibition of noradrenaline and dopamine recapture. We present a clinical case of a 50-year-old person with severe atopic dermatitis (A.D.) and without psychiatric symptoms associated, who was casually treated with bupropion with very good results. The mechanisms of action are not yet known, given the diversity of the implied physiopathology mechanisms: genetic, immunological, inflammatory, etc. The use of bupropion in serious and resistant cases to other treatments could constitute a pertinent therapeutic alternative.
