Overview Lithocent CR Tablet

For adult patients, Lithocent CR tablets effectively manage bipolar disorder and manic episodes. This medication may also be prescribed for certain other behavioral conditions. Its action reduces both the frequency and severity of manic episodes. Consistent blood levels are achieved by taking Lithocent CR with food at the same time daily. Complete the prescribed course, avoiding missed doses; if a dose is missed, take it immediately upon remembering. Discontinuation should only occur under medical supervision, as abrupt cessation may have adverse consequences. Potential side effects include tremors, speech difficulties, motor incoordination, nausea, vomiting, acne, elevated white blood cell count, and memory problems. Hair loss, thyroid enlargement, skin rashes, and increased thirst are also possible. Weight gain is a potential side effect; a balanced diet and regular exercise can help mitigate this. Long-term use may necessitate regular monitoring of thyroid and kidney function.
