Bupropion/zonisamide (planned trade name Empatic) is an experimental drug combination for the treatment of obesity.^[1] It is being developed by Orexigen Therapeutics. It is currently at phase II testing.^[2]^[3] The combination consists of two prescription medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for other ailments.^[4] When mixed together and tested along with proper diet and moderate exercise, they produced a substantial weight loss effect higher than the group taking a placebo.

Empatic was called Excalia before its name was changed.^[5]
