Overview Lalithium 400mg Tablet XR

Extended-release Lithion 400mg tablets are indicated for managing bipolar disorder and manic episodes in adults. This medication may also be prescribed for certain other behavioral conditions. Its action reduces both the frequency and severity of manic occurrences. Administer Lithion 400mg XR with food, consistently at the same time daily to ensure stable blood levels. Complete the prescribed course, avoiding missed doses; if a dose is missed, take it immediately upon remembering. Continue treatment as directed by your physician; abrupt cessation may lead to adverse reactions. Potential adverse effects include trembling, difficulty speaking, ataxia, nausea, emesis, acne, leukocytosis, and cognitive impairment.
