Which medication is known to be contraindicated in cases of epiglottitis?

The medication known to be contraindicated in cases of epiglottitis is bupropion. This is due to its potential to lower the seizure threshold, which is particularly relevant in patients with conditions that might already compromise their airway or require surgical intervention. In the case of epiglottitis, swelling and inflammation can lead to difficulty breathing, and any medication that could exacerbate seizure risk may further complicate the management of the airway, making it a significant concern.

In contrast, while the other medications listed may have their own side effects or contraindications, they do not carry the same level of risk regarding airway management and seizure potential that bupropion does in the context of epiglottitis.
