Lithium Er
Lithium ER (extended release) is a medication commonly used to treat and manage bipolar disorder. It helps to stabilize mood and reduce the severity and frequency of mania episodes. Lithium is a mood stabilizer that can help to prevent extreme highs (mania) and lows (depression) in mood.
How is this medication used?
Lithium ER should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response to the medication and your blood lithium levels.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of lithium ER include but are not limited to tremors, increased thirst, increased urination, nausea, diarrhea, and weight gain. More serious side effects can include kidney problems, low thyroid hormone levels, and high levels of calcium in the blood. It is important to monitor for signs of toxicity such as vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, muscle weakness, or changes in heartbeat.
What are the potential interactions?
Lithium ER can interact with several types of medications including diuretics, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), anticholinergic drugs, and medications that alter sodium levels in the blood. Always inform your healthcare provider of all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
