Oribion (active substance: bupropion) is an antidepressant used to treat severe episodes of depression, acting on norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. Its use is associated with the risk of seizures, especially with sudden discontinuation of other drugs or alcohol and with the use of drugs affecting the central nervous system.

Administering a steroid injection into the spine (e.g. corticosteroids) can affect the nervous system and drug metabolism, so it is essential to consult your doctor before such a procedure. Your doctor will evaluate the potential risk of interactions and possible contraindications resulting from combining Oribion and steroid therapy. There are no conclusive data on direct contraindications, but caution is indicated due to possible side effects and the risk of seizures.
