Overview Licab XL Tablet

Extended-release Licab tablets manage bipolar disorder and mania in adult patients. It may also be prescribed for certain other behavioral conditions. This medication lessens both the frequency and severity of manic episodes. Licab XL should be ingested with food, consistently at the same time daily to ensure stable blood levels. Complete the entire treatment regimen, even with symptom improvement; never skip doses. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Continue use as directed by your physician; abrupt cessation may cause adverse reactions. Potential side effects include: tremor, dysarthria, ataxia, nausea, emesis, acne, leukocytosis, and cognitive impairment. Hair loss, thyroid enlargement, dermatological reactions, and polydipsia are also possible. Weight gain is a potential side effect; maintain a healthy diet and exercise program to mitigate this. Long-term use necessitates regular monitoring of thyroid and renal function.
